Thanks for the pointers. Frigate, Home Assistant, and HomeKit were mentioned in other comments and we had some discussions there. They're certainly good setups.

A key design decision for me was using a strong end-to-end encryption scheme between the camera/hub and the app. MLS fit this need perfectly and therefore I came up with the design that is now Privastead.

I was also less concerned with supporting many cameras since all I needed was one camera inside my house. Rather, I wanted a lean solution that I could fully understand and reason about. I will however look more carefully into the NVRs you listed to see if I can borrow some ideas to support more cameras more easily in Privastead.
