I couldn't find a post in this community about cameras so I figured I'd make one. Requirements:

  • No "sign up" required to record video
  • Video is stored locally
  • Video is in a non-propriatary format
  • Can work offline

Optional/Discussion Points:

  • Can wireless connectivity be hardware disabled
  • Can auto-update be disabled
  • Does the device try to "phone home" if it is connected to wifi
  • Disk encryption would be nice but I doubt that'll be an option for anything other than self-hosted stuff

Does anyone know about Lorex (it seems more privacy centered)?

I'm highly technical, so feel free to mention self hosted raspberry pi soltuions as well.

Alerts, notifications, person recognition, object recognition, motion detection, two way audio, automated lights, event based video storage, 24/7 video storage, automated deletion of stale recorded video, and more can all be accomplished 100% locally.

Granted, much of this functionality is not easily accomplished without some technical knowledge and additional hardware. However, these posts typically are made by people who state to at least have an interest in making that a reality (as this one does).

What security benefits does a cloud service provide?
