Hey all, just wondering if anyone has any good self-hosted security cam recs? Have plenty of space and server options, and next big thing on my list is to get rid of my battery cloud cams. They have worked well enough I guess for a few years, but really pretty slow and limited, wondering if anyone has experience with any self-hosted solutions, preferably with similar features ie: motion detection, app/webapp, maybe battery op?

    Their support for ONVIF is, as you said, limited. Being able to add a camera into your protect feed is a good start, but until they make it work better for PTZ, audio, sub stream capture, and everything else it’s not worth note IMO.

    RTSP allows you to check a live feed in another software suite (even just VLC) but again, without the cameras themselves being ONVIF standard you’re missing all the aforementioned features and now you’re really REALLY overpaying for what is essentially a dumb camera.
