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!

Set up 4 reolink RLC-510A cameras at my place when we moved in. Was running them off of ispyagentdvr for a while but a friend of mine has been working on an NVR that I'm currently testing out that works well.

Completely local POE cameras that didn't break the bank and a free NVR that's easy to set up and manage.

Highly recommend Reolink for this purpose
