I’ve been using Amcrest cameras with Frigate and a Coral USB. It’s been working perfectly. My cameras are on a VLAN with no Internet access and it hasn’t caused any issues.
Do you have any of their doorbells? I went back to a physical doorbell button with home assistants sky connect dongle linked up to a motion sensor at the door just so I know when someone's there but would love to get a camera up there that isn't some ring bs
I have the Amcrest AD410 actually. I’m pretty sure the Amcrest app uses cloud but I could be wrong. That said, it integrates with home assistant and frigate perfectly at the local level so I get instant notifications when there is motion. If they ring the doorbell I leverage home assistant to be notified immediately along with a picture of when the button was pressed. I’ve been very happy with it.
