I want to setup a camera monitoring for my house and some rooms. I need to bee able to view the cameras remotely and and also do recording if possible. I could find some camera brands like dahua cams but having briefly tested them they. Seem to rely on acwmtralized cloud and proprietary visualization software.
What are you recommendation? This is not a professional setup I would at max have 3 cameras.
You need IP cameras and then you need a NVR server for recording, detection, and display. There are some good open source NVR programs out there with docker support. I’ve been wanting to try Viseron. There’s also ZoneMinder and Shinobi that seem to be good.
Unfortunately most consumer cameras are cloud only. This seems to be a list of cameras you can look into: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Hardware_Compatibility_List
Your best bet is probably a chinese brand for cameras. Dahlua seems popular. There are also a bunch of PoE cameras on Aliexpress for $15-25, but I can’t attest to if they’re any good. Hikvision cameras seem to have been popular too, but they have been recently sanctioned by EU/US for human rights violations.
