What kind of security cameras are you using?

I'm thinking about buying some but I don't want my videos being uploaded to some third party servers.

Probably gonna use home-assistant so it should work with that.

If you want both a smart AND privacy focused home, you still have an option. Home Assistant is a FOSS (Free Open Source Software) that creates home automation that you stay in control of.

There are many builds and price points for a set up, which mostly depends on how much work you are willing to take on yourself.
