I couldn’t find a post in this community about cameras so I figured I’d make one. Requirements:
Optional/Discussion Points:
Does anyone know about Lorex (it seems more privacy centered)?
I’m highly technical, so feel free to mention self hosted raspberry pi soltuions as well.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

I’m using amcrest cameras with frigate. They work offline, but their doorbell cameras are wireless only, IIRC.
Frigate records and does object detection, so you can get notifications(with photos in the notification) only when there is a certain object in a certain area(like only people in one area, cars and people in another, cats in a third area).
It’s a cheap setup if you already have a server running 24/7. It takes quite a bit of setup, but has been trouble free since.
