Send encrypted webcam snapshots over Telegram to specific users.

## Setup

You will need a webcam that can be accessed via [OpenCV](https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python).

You will also need [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/install-python).

First create **.env**

```bash

cp --update=none .env-dev .env

```

Fill up **.env** with the relevant data; you will need your [Telegram bot API token](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api), a list of Telegram user Chat IDs (obtainable by first manually sending messages to your bot from each user, and then running `bot_get_updates(token)`), and a strong password for your encrypted images. The contents of **.env** _must_ be kept secret.

## Usage

```bash

uv run python src/main.py

```

## Is it secret? Is it safe?

No guarantees. If your bot conversation has been leaked, the messages still need to be decrypted individually.
