Cams, anyone? (lemmy.today)

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has any good self-hosted security cam recs? Have plenty of space and server options, and next big thing on my list is to get rid of my battery cloud cams. They have worked well enough I guess for a few years, but really pretty slow and limited, wondering if anyone has experience with any self-hosted solutions, preferably with similar features ie: motion detection, app/webapp, maybe battery op?

For the cameras themselves, if you would be interested in DIY solutions and have some old spare Raspberry Pis around, you can turn them into streaming IP cameras and have some control over what camera specs and lenses you use. I can't tell you how they compare to purpose-built cameras though.

It sounds like a fun project but I dont know if I'd rely on it for security purposes. Plus with the cost of Pis now you might as well but a full fledged camera.

For sure, that would be something just for fun, not main usage.
