Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You can use pretty much any camera with ZoneMinder as long as it supports ONVIF or RTSP and has the right connectivity and power inputs for you. I did something similar with some cheap TP-link cameras with pretty good results. With motion activated recording, I have just shy of 12 month of recordings stored on a 500G SSD.

How did you get 12 months onto just 500 Gb? I only have a couple weeks worth on a 1 Tb ☹️ I'm using wyze cams w/ agent i-spy. I assume I need to upgrade my compression skills here.
Motion activated recordings.
Continuouse, even h265 recordings, can only 2 weeks or so per terabyte.
Motion activated means he is probably recording 30 minutes per day vs 24 hours.
Ahhh that makes sense. Yea I'm on continuous.
