Cams, anyone? (lemmy.today)

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has any good self-hosted security cam recs? Have plenty of space and server options, and next big thing on my list is to get rid of my battery cloud cams. They have worked well enough I guess for a few years, but really pretty slow and limited, wondering if anyone has experience with any self-hosted solutions, preferably with similar features ie: motion detection, app/webapp, maybe battery op?

Frigate is popular.

I used to use ZoneMinder, it worked well, but you must be very familiar with onvif, primary/secondary channels, and key frames for it to work well.

I only switched to frigate because of the person/animal detection. It's ok, but it does need some polish in a few areas like event retention, and it could stand some more approachable documentation.

Used Zoneminder for a 20 camera store CCTV setup and can confirm, it's complicated but powerful. I wouldn't use it for less than 4 cams.

The alternative I'd use personally is https://motion-project.github.io/ though. Doesn't make much difference.
