What kind of security cameras are you using?

I’m thinking about buying some but I don’t want my videos being uploaded to some third party servers.

Probably gonna use home-assistant so it should work with that.

That’s also how I do things.

Get the cheapest camera possible with decent quality, PoE, RTSP and ONVIF.

Add them in a VLAN without internet access and let Frigate handle the rest.
