Hi all,

I'm planning to set up outdoor security cameras (garden and garage) and want to do it fully local, with no cloud.

My constraints:

  • 100% local storage, no vendor cloud or apps
  • PoE + ONVIF/RTSP, IP67, good night vision

Questions:

  1. Any better open or camera brands that work fully offline?
  2. Any firmware or hardening tips I might be missing?

Thanks!

I’m rocking annke cheap-ish PoE cam on a dedicated vlan for years now. Coupled with Frigate. I still keep an eye on sus traffic attempts but so far so good. Before that I was using Synology surveillance station but nowadays Frigate is better imho. Funky to hook to HA for alerting and all.
