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?

Can confirm. Been using Wyze cameras for several years.

I'm not using this particular firmware but I bought them specifically because I could flash them.

Despite the firmware giving control of outbound traffic, I suggest blocking them at the network level.

Mine run on an sd card and if someone removes the sd card and reboots it or the card gets corrupted, it would fall back to factory settings.

I have quite a few of these and they are using very, very cheap sd cards and while none have failed, they most certainly will eventually.
