This hasn’t been asked in a while, and I really loved reading the last discussion so I’m hoping to kick it off again and see what has changed!

What I’d like to know is:

- What specific products do you wish you could host on your own infrastructure, but the product does not offer such a deployment method

- Do you or would you use the product without being able to self-host? I.E. In its current state

- Do you think your employer, if any, holds the same opinions?

Don’t know about the hardware, but HomeAssistant + Frigate can definitely cover the software side.

This brand does not force you to use their service. so you can just run it as a self hosted device. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZJS3L5Y/?coliid=I8SLH70CY9YEK&colid=29UXLJ80XOR0U&psc=0&ref_=list_c_wl_gv_ov_lig_pi_dp

Users disliked:

  • Motion detection issues trigger unwanted recordings (backed by 2 comments)
  • Video cuts out too quickly after initial trigger (backed by 1 comment)

According to Reddit, Amcrest is considered a reputable brand.
Its most popular types of products are:
