Chore: Move the Cloud Key to secure location? #235

Open nelsonic opened 1 year ago

At present the Cloud Key https://github.com/dwyl/home/issues/130#issuecomment-1117938928 is colocated with the Switch in the workshop:

Note: this area is definitely not yet finished! that mass of rolled-up network cables and the unfinished conduit section is far from "done". This photo is just to illustrate where the Cloud Key is currently.

While I plan to protect the Switch from tampering [TBD] I still feel that having the Cloud Key (which has the hard drive where security cam recordings are stored) should be stored in a secure location so that if a malicious person were to reach the Switch, they would not be able to rip out the Cloud Key which has recorded their shenanigans.

Todo

Note: I had originally planned to place these kinds of critical infrastructure components in the "cellar" ... but sadly the humidity level is too high for running a hard drive. πŸ’§

Reason for having this as a priority-1 is that there no point having security cameras if the hard drive recording the attempted entry is sitting in plain sight for the intruder to remove the evidence ... so getting this somewhere safe ASAP is a very good idea ...

Yes, that makes perfect sense. Very much agree with this.

A Waterproof enclosure like this could work in the Cellar for protecting the HD from humidity? πŸ’­ https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003422416426.html
