Say for example, I sense I may be in danger, and I want to turn on video and audio recording on my phone and have it sent to my self host server, is there software for it?

I was thinking of using Nextcloud Talk and then recording my session if possible.

Even better if I can share access with someone I trust.

Maybe something like https://owncast.online/ or https://github.com/bluenviron/mediamtx

You could set it up to record and maybe even use a hook and some cli signal client to send a message with the stream url to one of your friends?
