**UPGRADE to HSS** (for new users)

David (@dynamicdave), Paul (@zenofmud and Walter (@krambriw) are pleased to announce **release 1.2.2** of their Home Surveillance System (HSS) project based on Node-RED running on a Raspberry Pi (recommended hardware is... Raspberry Pi-3B or 4B). Here's a link to the original project-thread.

> David (@dynamicdave), Paul (@zenofmud and Walter (@krambriw) are pleased to announce the release of their Home Surveillance System (HSS) project based on Node-RED running on a Raspberry Pi (recommended hardware is... Raspberry Pi-3B or 4B). As can be seen from the photos below, HSS has four monitors and a main display area that can show video streams from local and/or remote cameras [walter\_2] On-the-fly recordings can …

_ **Please note: This release is aimed at NEW users who would like to install HSS.** _

The difference between release **v1.2.1** and **v1.2.2** is that new versions of Kevin Godell's 'ffmpeg' and 'mp4frag' nodes and Bart's 'multipart-stream-decoder' node have been packged into the flow. The updates listed in the posting above (i.e. SFG and use of a username that is not pi) have also been included.

If you are a **NEW** user, you just need to visit the Downloads page of our website [HSS- home](http://teamwork-int.com/hss/index.html) and download the _HSS complete flow file_ then follow the Install instructions on our website.

**Please note:**  
**Existing** users who want to take advantage of the new versions of these nodes will need to remove the old nodes and replace them with new versions. If you are familiar with the mechanics inside Node-RED, then this shouldn't be a problem. However, for inexperienced users the HSS Team are currently looking at the feasibility of producing a script or a Node-RED flow to handle this task.

The HSS Team hope you enjoy using HSS.
