Anyone know of self-hostable security cameras? (lemmy.world)

Edit: ideally wifi cameras that I can solar power.

Looking to replace my Arlo cameras with something self-hostable. Arlo lets you store on a USB stick, but there's no way to get out from under their cloud, which gets more expensive all the time.

Eufy? With the hub it's all kept local I believe. Even without I think you can get a week with a 128 card.

Not sure about wifi cameras, I have a mix of Trendnet and Hikivision POE, sitting on a Vlan with no internet access. For the software I use Blue Iris. Where I have a need for cameras I have only a Windows server and I have found this software to be the best for me.

I'm running a trio of Reolink RLC-820A cameras, over PoE. I'm recording with Frigate on a Raspberry Pi with a Google TPU USB.

Inferencing of detected objects is lightning fast, and reasonably accurate. I'm storing ~45 days of footage (motion detected - not 24x7 recording) on less than 2TB.

I would review https://docs.frigate.video/frigate/hardware

Many selfhosted NVRs have been suggested. Personally ive tried:

iSpy

Frigate

Zoneminder

Shinobi

Ended up settling on zoneminder at this stage.

For cameras themselves i just want to point out the OpenIPC project - opensource firmware if youre technically inclined

Edit: I'm hesitant to recomment OpenIPC now since the main streamer is closed source. Thingino is fully open and developed by some of the devs who didn't agree with the closed source portion
