Ask HN: Do I publish code that affects millions of wireless security cameras?
In a quest to have full local access to my wireless security cameras without the cloud I've figured out how to access the video and audio streams of any camera of a certain manufacturer (whose name I'm withholding) without any modification to the stock firmware.
I currently have a program that, given an IP of the camera, will connect to it, authenticate itself, and get the realtime video/audio stream. This isn't just intercepting an ongoing stream, it will actually start a new stream of its own.
Is this something that I just keep and use in my home setup as I originally intended or do I put the code on GitHub for the masses? What are the general considerations for something like this?
