Yes, this is the approach I have been hoping for. Coming up for air from other projects, and looking forward to digging back into Haven.

Thanks for looking into this @lukeswitz - perhaps we should have put more warnings around the video recording feature.

Also @fn107ba it might be useful to have one device out of view, just to record any audio. It could be put on top of a shelf or hidden under...

We will be adding Matrix support, as well as a pure Onion-to-Onion sync between multiple Haven apps.

(Guardian Project has a secure matrix client project underway called Keanu: https://gitlab.com/keanuapp)

We haven't considered this for anti-theft purposes, but perhaps we could. OTOH, one concern is that you could turn Haven into a tracking device, which is not its purpose.

I've been thinking of not using the MediaRecorder for video recording, and instead just capture multiple preview frames and encode them into an MP4.

Using this for example: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaCodec

I have something working with JCodec now, but it is too slow. I've checked in some code that uses MediaCodec into my branch but not fully working yet.
