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?

I see it supports many cameras, but you need to pull them apart and use a serial hookup to flash the firmware... but for the wyze cams and a few others you can flash them directly with an SD card.

I liked how cheap the wyze cams were but desperately wanted to get them offline. This was my silver bullet.
