They’re affordable and ubiquitous, but homeowners shouldn’t be able to act as vigilantes.

    Reolink or Amcrest or any other Ethernet hardwired ones with NVR that you can host in your house. No WiFi and no third-party/cloud storage ones like Ring or Nest.

      Amcrest is what I inherited when I purchases my house. Just know they really don’t support their older stuff at all. My NVR is inaccessible from any modern web browser, and Amcrest has no plans to update the firmware (latest version from 2018) AND ignored my questions in email when I wanted to verify the latest firmware for my model number since it didn’t appear on their site at all.

      That said, the cameras are great and the system works well, its just not as simple compared to newer solutions.
