yet another reason for supporting local network only products
Where foes one get local cameras?
Reolink is one for example https://www.reolink.com/gb/ its a HK based (Chinese) company, however they work with local network access only. So they are pretty “safe” to use if you have something like home assistant or something else that can receive their video streams locally. But so far they do not need internet access to function so you can just block their access outside.
They are typically called ‘webcams’.
Then you write or find some open source code to manage things like motion detection, object recognition, permanent vs temporary recording, etc, and run it off your old laptop or a raspberry pi or something.
Unfortunately, that is far beyond most people’s understanding/ability.
Writing it is, but finding an existing project that works isn’t.
I hear https://frigate.video/ is good.
Well then most people get what they pay for.
The problem is that also means the rest of us get centrally surveilled, and those people don’t necessarily have to care
We are so fucked.
If only I had a Amazon Ring product … I already have 4 axes, a chainsaw and a stick welder … I’d be having such a good time now /s (and i’m not even in the USA)
