Cams, anyone? (lemmy.today)

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?

I just checked out frigate, and I see it crutches on docker. Anything docker-free?

Zoneminder is an option.

It's been around since before containers were a thing, so fairly stable.

Not used it myself, but when I get around to needing cameras (I'm in a small house in a low crime area), then thats what I'm planning to use.

It has (had?) an integration in MythTv too, so I can see who's a the door whilst watching TV at the same time.

@jabeez@lemmy.today You could use Frigate for the 'feature' set, no? frigate+HA should work very well for the use case. Rest you should be okay with something that does RTSP and feeding that to frigate/HA, no? I remember researching something about this last year, and found that Reolink IIRC offers that.

For the cameras themselves, if you would be interested in DIY solutions and have some old spare Raspberry Pis around, you can turn them into streaming IP cameras and have some control over what camera specs and lenses you use. I can't tell you how they compare to purpose-built cameras though.

Have seen some camera projects with Pis that look fun, would def like to try some one day.
