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!

Reolink offers PoE cameras and NVRs recorders. It is what I have. You can plug in a monitor/keyboard into their NVR and set everything up from there without any networking.

Regarding hardening, if you have a firewall you can create rules that block connections between your NVR and the open internet.
