Security camera recommendations? (lemmy.today)

Previously asked 2 years ago.

What are folks using these days? Reolink seemed to be a popular choice 2 years ago. I'll start looking here.

I've been using Eufy (yeah, I know). Apparently, Eufy has a way to transfer clips to a NAS via RTSP. However, I've been seeing users complain that the transferred clips end up with degraded quality. Not great. De-great-ed.

My home server has plenty of space on it, so it would be cool if I could save clips (or all the video footage?) directly to my ZFS pool.

What do folks' security camera setup look like?

I have a Reolink PoE camera. It's plugged into Home Assistant, and some setting in the integration had it phoning home constantly looking for updates. I turned that off and now it only connects outside of my network to sync the time.
The camera has survived outside for a few years now, so no complaints.
