Quick answer
Private home security for Raspberry Pi and Secluso hardware
Secluso is a private home security camera system for Raspberry Pi and Secluso hardware. Watch live video, get alerts, and view recordings from your phone without giving a cloud provider access to your footage.
You can start today with your own Raspberry Pi and off-the-shelf parts.
Secluso is built around end-to-end encryption. The camera encrypts video before it leaves your network, and the relay only transports encrypted data. You can self-host the open-source relay on your own VPS, or use hosted relay infrastructure without giving the relay access to your footage.
Secluso Deploy gives you a guided setup path for preparing your Raspberry Pi, pairing it with the app, and setting up secure remote access.
Secluso also includes on-device AI for alerts such as motion, person, pet, and vehicle detection.
What you get:
- end-to-end encrypted live view, alerts, and recordings - on-device AI with motion, person, pet, and vehicle alerts - support for DIY Raspberry Pi cameras - self-hosted or hosted relay options without giving the relay access to your footage - open-source software you can inspect and self-host - reproducible releases you can verify - guided image building, QR-based pairing, and relay provisioning for easier setup
The F-Droid Android build is a better fit for de-Googled devices and avoids Firebase and Google Play Services for notifications.

- Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
- Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
- Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
- If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
