Haven is a way to protect personal spaces and possessions, without compromising
privacy, through an Android app and on-device sensors
About Haven
Haven is for people who need a way to protect their personal spaces and
possessions without compromising their own privacy. It is an Android
application that leverages on-device sensors to provide monitoring and
protection of physical spaces. Haven turns any Android phone into a motion,
sound, vibration and light detector.
Announcement and Public Beta
We are announcing Haven today, as an open-source project, along a public beta
release of the app. We are looking for contributors who understand that
physical security is as important as digital, and who have an understanding and
compassion for the kind of threats faced by the users and communities we want
to support.
We also think it is really cool, cutting edge, and making use of encrypted
messaging and onion routing in whole new ways. We believe Haven points the way
to a more sophisticated approach to securing communication within networks of
things and home automation system. It’s developed in partnership by Freedom of
the Press Foundation and the Guardian Project
Safety through Sensors
Haven only saves images and sound when triggered by motion or volume, and
stores everything locally on the device. You can position the device’s camera
to capture visible motion, or set your phone somewhere discreet to just listen
for noises. Get secure notifications of intrusion events instantly and access
the logs remotely or anytime later.
The follow sensors are monitored for a measurable change, and then recorded to
an event log on the device:
Accelerometer: phone’s motion and vibration
Camera: motion in the phone’s visible surroundings from front or back camera
Microphone: noises in the enviroment
Light: change in light from ambient light sensor
Power: detect device being unplugged or power loss
Building
The application can be built using Android Studio and Gradle. It relies on a
number of third-party dependencies, all which are free, open-source and listed
at the end of this document …
