Secluso offers a home security camera that keeps all video footage under the user’s sole control through on‑device AI and end‑to‑end encryption, ensuring no frames are stored on external servers. The camera runs fully open‑source software, allowing users to verify the code and maintain privacy while still providing real‑time monitoring. Footage is only transmitted off‑site when the owner explicitly authorizes it, eliminating the risk of cloud‑based data breaches.

Problem
Home security cameras typically stream video to cloud services, exposing footage to data breaches, insider access, and opaque algorithmic processing. Users have little control over where their recordings are stored or who can access them, creating privacy risks in otherwise protective devices.
Solution
Secluso offers a privacy‑first security camera that keeps all video encrypted on the device and never uploads frames to external servers without explicit user permission. The camera runs fully open‑source firmware, allowing owners to audit the code and verify that no hidden transmission pathways exist. On‑device AI handles motion detection and event processing locally, eliminating the need for cloud‑based analytics. When users choose to view or share footage, encrypted streams can be transmitted through a user‑controlled relay, ensuring that only authorized parties can decrypt the data. This architecture creates a closed‑loop observation system where the homeowner retains sole ownership of the video key.
Target Audience
Primary customers are privacy‑concerned homeowners and small‑scale property managers who want secure, self‑hosted surveillance without exposing footage to third‑party cloud services.
Features
- End‑to‑end encryption performed on the camera hardware, preventing any raw video from leaving the device by default
- Fully open‑source, verifiable firmware that can be inspected and compiled by the user
- On‑device AI for motion detection and event triggering, removing reliance on cloud processing
- Optional encrypted relay for secure remote viewing, with user‑controlled decryption keys
- Local storage support (e.g., SD card) for continuous recording without cloud dependency
- Minimalistic web interface that streams only encrypted data to authorized clients
