Oh man, there seems to be ample stock!
Any suggestions for a camera? I don't have any at the moment. One that doesn't expose itself to the internet would be nice 😆
I've only been looking at the Raspberry Cams for the moment, as my thinking was that I wanted to keep all the components as compatible as possible to make my life easier.
Though for security cameras, maybe @[email protected] would have better knowledge around what is good out there?
I don't know much about rPi specific models. For outdoor security cams I always go wired with PoE IP cams that at least have an RTSP stream, that way most standalone NVR software can work with them.
Not a fan of wireless/battery security cameras. I do have one wireless indoor cam, but it's only to check on the toddler when she's sleeping, it doesn't record so no constant stream of data. I think I'm using a cheapie Amcrest out front, I haven't really looked at cameras in awhile. Dahua's are often recommended on places like ipcamtalk.com, but you need to look at specific models as there are a lot of them.
Did a quick look on some forums and did see a lot of mentions of Dahua. I'll hopefully move to a a Poe setup in the near future.
