I tried wyze and find it silly how video clips are limited to 5 seconds unless you give them money every month. I want something where the footage is saved on a local sdcard/hdd without any cloud reliance.

Even better if I don’t have to be locked into using the manufacturer’s app, but I’m flexible on that.

It seems like you are looking for a DVR. I have one with 1tb HDD and eight 1080p cameras, because they only record when there is movement I can save over a month of footage before it starts rewriting.

For OP. Reolink has a DVR and wireless type cameras.

However be careful on which cameras you get as not all the wireless versions work with the DVR. Think this is mostly the battery powered ones. Also not sure if this has changed since original purchase a few years back.

The online retailers seem to sell DVR+wireless camera bundles.

That sounds like exactly what I need, thank you. I will research them.

Sorry that I can’t recommend you any brand, mine is old and bought from a local security company that bundles it with their own software - if you connect it to the internet you can get a live feed through their ddns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS#DDNS_for_security_appliance_manufacturers but the security is probably shit :P
I hope someone here shows up with good modern options.
