ClouDNS vs Scrypted: at a glance
What is ClouDNS?
ClouDNS widens its SSL catalog and adds maintenance windows to monitoring
ClouDNS keeps adding direct registry accreditations, with .LOVE, .BAR, .CLICK, .TO, .DIY, .FOOD and others since mid-September. Alongside them it is building out the services around domains: Maintenance Mode for monitoring checks, new Status Page alert options, and now RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, including wildcard options.
What is Scrypted?
Scrypted's v0.147.0 pairs RTSP compliance fixes with two web-server security patches.
Scrypted is a self-hosted home video and NVR platform. After a ten-month gap, v0.145.0 and v0.147.0 landed eleven days apart in September. v0.147.0 fixes RTSP parser compliance, an engine.io routing vulnerability and an Express sendFile relative-path issue, and moves plugins to a rollup build.

ClouDNS widens its SSL catalog and adds maintenance windows to monitoring
◆ Current state
ClouDNS keeps adding direct registry accreditations, with .LOVE, .BAR, .CLICK, .TO, .DIY, .FOOD and others since mid-September. Alongside them it is building out the services around domains: Maintenance Mode for monitoring checks, new Status Page alert options, and now RapidSSL and Actalis certificates, including wildcard options.
◆ Where it's heading
The registrar expansion continues at roughly one batch of TLDs a month, while monitoring and SSL become fuller products in their own right. The direction is a one-stop domain, DNS, certificate and uptime provider.
◆ Prediction
Another batch of TLD accreditations is the likeliest next entry; further monitoring features look likely given two releases since September.

Scrypted's v0.147.0 pairs RTSP compliance fixes with two web-server security patches.
◆ Current state
Scrypted is a self-hosted home video and NVR platform. After a ten-month gap, v0.145.0 and v0.147.0 landed eleven days apart in September. v0.147.0 fixes RTSP parser compliance, an engine.io routing vulnerability and an Express sendFile relative-path issue, and moves plugins to a rollup build.
◆ Where it's heading
Visible activity is maintenance and security rather than features: type-safety refactors, dependency updates and server hardening. The last user-facing camera feature in these entries was Amcrest text overlay support in May 2025.
◆ Prediction
Expect sporadic point releases with dependency and security fixes; the entries give no sign of a feature push.
