No invasive analytics. No cloud lock-in. Your camera, your rules.
HomesteadWatch is being built around local control and minimal data exposure. The public website itself uses no analytics or tracking.

Built at home. Shared carefully.
HomesteadWatch is not publicly downloadable yet. The first community preview will be released only after the package, documentation, security boundary, and clean-install process have been properly reviewed.
