MODERATORS
Mine are wired and cloudless, on a separate locked down VLAN and I still barely trust them.
Thats what we've been moving to. It took a long while but i was finally able to convince my partner that ring cameras (or any cloud service) are a problem and a huge trade off for our privacy. We are moving to replace the doorbell and drive way camera's we currently have. Have any recommendations for wired cameras? I've got an older SAN i can repurpose for local recordings and a POE switch.
I've been using amcrest and have been happy so far. Frigate is a pretty good NVR too.
