1) Give the local computer a public key, and have all video get encrypted as it goes into storage.

2) Keep the associated private key protected to your preference of security and convenience.

3) Decrypt the videos when you want to view them (if you're comfortable storing the private key on your phone, the only difference to the end user should be lag -- unless they lose the private key).

How does encrypting your video help if the device that contains the video is stolen? The thief wont be able to view themselves committing the crime?

Lulz, I took xsmasher to be worried about infosec in the case of a break-in -- I hadn't considered the issue of retaining the data until just now. Having it backup the encrypted video to cloud storage mitigates that worry while still keeping the info secure, though.
