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?

Synology ds cam plus a whole lot of Chinese HIK vision Poe cameras. Some inside some outside. The whole thing coupled with HA. It’s been working for years now so no complaint. The one time a camera died on me the vendor replaced it free of charge which I appreciated.
