Use POE Ethernet. Problem solved.

Any recommendations for PoE cameras?

I use hikvision and the quality is great in low light. I haven't connected them to the internet since I use Frigate and Home Assistant to monitor the feeds.

I put mine on an unconnected network attached to a connected desktop. Videos are written and uploaded to the cloud when motion is detected. ISpy is a good open source video system even if it is written in C#.

Check out Reolink, they have a lot of package systems and lots of deals. Watch some videos on the installation process.

I've been happy with Hikvision recording to my Qnap NAS. I've heard some bad ethical things about their company, but the cam works well.

I've set family up with a lorex system, setup was pretty straightforward and it works well. No monthly subscription fees rock.

UniFi Protect is outstanding. You need to buy one of their NVRs or cloud gateways to use it, but it's incredible & wouldn't want another system for our house/family business

Didn't they accidentally send supposedly private video to the wrong users recently?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Yes, there was an incident where ~1k people received push notifications that were intended for other accounts

Shitty, but they addressed the issue within 24hr, notified impacted users, and published a sitrep. They handled it extremely well imo, but also you could disable the cloud connection if it concerns you

So, vendor locked.

Yes. If that's not for you, that's fine! If that isn't a dealbreaker, it's an exceptional platform
