The usual baby-phones and phone based surveillance solutions do not fit my needs:
- We live in townhouse with reinforced concrete walls (the signal from the babyphone is not strong enough)
- We want to meet with neighbors two or three houses away.
So baby-phone is out of question. I could use a phone based application (most Gigaset have on integrated) which calls a number on a noise activation base. (Tried that. If your child is coughing you are feeling like a phone operator)
Therefore I want to build something like this:
- Raspberry Pi with Camera and microphone
- gets activated on movement and / or noise
- starts the cam and provides secure stream
- notifies you that there is something happening
- you can access the stream and look what it is.
- optional: Turn on the cam from remote
- optional: Threshold for stream starting (Start the stream only on reoccurring noise or movement)
- optional: Have a nice app for this ;)
Looking for hackers with the skills:

At least all your requirements that you stated should be fulfilled by the android app Dormi which I used successfully so far with an older Android Smartphone I installed with lineageos and either wifi-only or a secondary SIM-card with no monthly fee. You can try it with a 4h/month limit for free at least to see how it can look like but the RPi idea sounds nice of course as well. At least for the mobile case I favor a repurposed Android smartphone over RPi as the whole power-connection+wifi+mobile-connection+camera+microphone-integration-challenge is solved easily :)

Oh cool. I will have a look at Dormi in the hackweek too. For a mobile use it may worth a try.
But at home I would love to have something that is mounted stationary. In the requirements I forgot one optional goal: Add multiple baby stations ;-)
And of course the main reason for all this is learning new things and playing around...

Create an Android app for Syncthing as part of the Syncthing Tray project by mkittler
Description
There's already an app but code/features already in Syncthing Tray could be reused to create a nicer app with additional features like managing ignore patterns more easily. The additional UI code for the app could then in turn be re-used by other parts of Syncthing Tray, e.g. to implement further steps in the wizard as requested by some users. This way one "UI wrapper codebase" could serve GNU/Linux, Windows and Android (and in theory MacOS) at the same time which is kind of neat.
Goals
- DONE: Learn more about development for Android and development of UIs with Qt Quick
- DONE: Create an experimental app reusing as much existing Syncthing Tray code as possible
- DONE: Build Syncthing as a library also for Android and use it in the app (already done but needs further testing and integration with the rest of the app configuration)
- DONE: Update the Syncthing Tray website, documentation
- DONE: Extend the app so it has at least a start page and an import
- Update forum thread
- DONE: Upload an experimental build on GitHub
- Extend the Syncthing API to download single files on demand (instead of having to sync the whole directory or use ignore patterns)
- Bring back parts of the newly developed mobile UI back to Syncthing Tray on the desktop to fully benefit from the cross-platform development
- Add UI to add/edit folders and devices in desktop tray app
- Add UI to show out-of-sync items in desktop tray app
- Create an alternative "AppWindow" tailored for desktop platforms reusing UI components developed for the mobile app
Resources
- Android SDK/NDK and emulator
- Qt Quick
