Need at least the camera, if not that plus a microphone and speakers, not the lock or bell.
Libre Software (Obviously) + End-to-End Encryption
Small and easy to hide, so the camera isn’t stolen, attacked or bypassed.
You want Reolink + Frigate
I can stand behind reolink. Quality products at really good prices.
I have personally installed their cameras for multiple people and never really have issues out of them.
And check with your local telephone co-op and see if they will hook you up with free ethernet cable. All you need then is a crimper and some ends.
Love these cameras
They have a doorbell: https://reolink.com/__/product/reolink-video-doorbell/
It doesn’t really get smaller than that.
Unpopular opinion: an actual doorbell.
I can’t remotely see if an important package was delivered with a regular doorbell.
I also can’t see who took my package with a regular doorbell. But apparently having security cameras on your property is dystopian surveillance.
Having security cameras that malicious businesses sell so they can scrape your data and share video with the police without your informed consent is a dystopian nightmare.
Having your own security system that is only accessed by you and those you intentionally share it with is not.
Yes, looks good, thank you!
Will that run on a Pi? Can it shut off when I’m at home?
Frigate can definitely run on a Pi. It can also integrate with Home Assistant which can run on a Pi. As for turning itself off when you’re home, I don’t know.
Reolink has a local encrypted video doorbell.
I use Eufy doorbells, locks, and cameras. I realize they are a Chinese company, but that is almost unavoidable until the US gets back to actually manufacturing tech.
The reason I like Eufy is the local storage and no required subscription fees.
