Are there good local backup options? I have some Ubiquiti gear but their camera system seems too locked down

Unifi released their NAS product(just a NAS, no apps). You can archive selected footage to it or some cloud providers. You can also back up a Unifi NAS to another Unifi NAS either at the same location or remote.

Edit: Just to clarify Protect allows archiving to any CIFS/SMB share. It’s not automatic though. You have to manually export the clips you want.

Blue Iris will use pretty Much any cameras including Ubiquiti, has a mobile app for viewing and alerts, and has self hosted AI object recognition using code project. Its entirely off the grid if you want it to be. I know it just saves to folders that you could backup, but it will also do ftp, etc out of the box

Hm. I’m not sure.

I know they expose rtsp or rstp or whatever protocol, so maybe you could wire something up to record off the stream.
