It would be amazing if it doesn’t disintegrate if it rains, too.
I’ve used a ton of ubiquity unifi cameras and they have a solid range on pricing. I think you need the unifi software to commission them though. For what it’s worth they don’t use the cloud for storage and don’t require any sort of subscription.
Right. I only mentioned them because they don’t require a sub and you can store everything locally.
Regular IP cameras don’t require a sub and let you store everything locally (even to the point of a micro SD in the camera for backup).
Ubiquity cameras are ridiculously over priced for their quality. They charge $140 for a worse camera (image quality/ features) than a $40 ip camera that supports ONVIF so works with open source Linux NVR software.
But there is an option in the UniFi software to have the cameras output an RTSP stream. It’s not bad if you already have some UniFi gear.
Regular IP cameras support ONVIF so they can work with any software.
I have Unifi router, switch and wifi APs.
