Technical architecture was fun to build. Runs on a single 2GB VM + Postgres - Ingest scripts across 468 sources of different camera formats - Health check to ensure only working cameras are shown - Proxy vs direct to ensure cameras work - some serve residential IPs but firewall datacenter rangers. Others are the reverse - Image fingerprinting to capture dead cameras with static images - For some hls the origin delivers segments slower than the video bitrate, so it never plays. I pull a single frame out with ffmpeg and show a slow-refreshing still instead of a black box. autoidentified - Humbled by SEO- google seemingly flagged as scaled non-quality content. Should’ve dripfed. Oh well Proud of the build. happy to answer questions.
