Hello all, I’m in the market for a privacy-respecting security doorbell camera and a wide view camera with the following features: (not all of them are required, however)
-Motion detection
-Decent sized local storage*( I saw one that came with a 2TB drive but I don’t think they had a cloud storage)
-Cloud storage* (no subscriptions would be great)
I briefly looked at the r/privacy and a lot of recommendations have third parties like Amazon web services for their cloud storage which I don’t feel very comfortable with. I’m looking forward to hearing about the products you guys swear by.
Thanks.

I use Eufy with local storage that you can expand with your own hard drive. They had some controversy before with how thumbnails are temporarily stored in their cloud, but if you select notifications without thumbnails/preview, you should be ok. Cloud storage will never be privacy-friendly unless you encrypt the videos yourself before they are uploaded.
