Hello all, I’m in the market for a privacy-respecting security doorbell camera and a wide view camera with the following features: (not all of them are required, however)

-Motion detection

-Decent sized local storage*( I saw one that came with a 2TB drive but I don’t think they had a cloud storage)

-Cloud storage* (no subscriptions would be great)

I briefly looked at the r/privacy and a lot of recommendations have third parties like Amazon web services for their cloud storage which I don’t feel very comfortable with. I’m looking forward to hearing about the products you guys swear by.

Thanks.

    Well, that certainly is a different take than I’m used to. I sometimes fail to realize that most of the population live in fairly tight quarters, especially in housing developments, etc. Their coverage would entail an acre maybe a little more or a little less and even a doorbell cam has a pretty wide field of vision. So I could understand that concern. Where as, I have some acreage to mother hen. Barns, equipment, etc. and I have zero tolerance for a person who would walk onto my property and steal from me. I’ll help a brother out as best I can, but if you steal from me that’s going to get you in some troubled water.

    Anyways, thanks for the explanation. Always down to be educated. Thanks for the link as well. I’ll hit it in a bit.
