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.

    Any camera that supports RTSP and ONVIF should work fine, it’s generally best to disable internet access on the cameras at your firewall too.

    Frigate is a great app for recording too, since it does object detection.

      That’s also how I do things.

      Get the cheapest camera possible with decent quality, PoE, RTSP and ONVIF.

      Add them in a VLAN without internet access and let Frigate handle the rest.

        I have a ReoLink camera that streams to my Synology NAS that’s joined to my Tailscale network that I can access from anywhere!

        Sure, that would depend on your firewall rules but you can allow incoming traffic from LAN/VPN clients easily enough.

        Personally I just access streams through frigate since that’s much faster and easier.
