I find that I need a security camera for my back yard. Do you folks recommend any particular makes & models? It should avoid the cloud but record locally. I’m somewhat handy with Linux and a RaspberryPi, if that helps.

Thanks!

      Be aware that some only work with neolink in between. I have some B800 cams and the picture is phenomenal, but I have to use neolink and h265.

      I moved to Amcrest. Much more open, the api is documented, and h264.

      Oh, and frigate NVR

      Thanks for the suggestion. I have a hard time trusting a company that appears to try to hide its country of origin. And I’m not interested in anything made by a Chinese company.
