I tried wyze and find it silly how video clips are limited to 5 seconds unless you give them money every month. I want something where the footage is saved on a local sdcard/hdd without any cloud reliance.
Even better if I don’t have to be locked into using the manufacturer’s app, but I’m flexible on that.
I have multiple Reolink cameras at this point and just have them recording to a SD card and blocked from the internet.
They have local ML models for human, animal and vehicle detection, so something like Frigate isn’t strictly necessary, though I haven’t bothered setting them up with Home Assistant yet and mainly use them with the Reolink app and VLC with RTSP. Sometimes, I unblock them from the internet temporarily if I’m going to need to access them remotely.
