Title: Ethical + privacy-first outdoor camera setup (garden & garage) – looking for advice (lemmy.ml)

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 also in the market. I've heard good things about Reolink cameras in this regard. I'm planning on linking them up to a Frigate hosted NVR. My plan is to pounce on any black friday deals that come up this month, but curious if people have other recs.
