Standalone cameras (lemmy.world)

I'm looking at dusting off my motion setup. It was an old setup to monitor what my pets are doing in the house with a webcam.

However, I need cameras outside to monitor my gardens and the webcams are not really usefull for that (for one, the're not waterproof and USB cams)

I try to look for stand alone cameras, but can't find a good test of them. (probably user error) Any tips on good, safe, cameras for outside? (pref poe, wifi when it can't be avoided, not battery powered)

Thanks in advance

I'm running Dahua cameras. They can pull new firmware straight over the internet, but they don't rely on any cloud services. All kinds of flavours available and they do run on POE.

Thingino makes sure your cameras are yours and no one elses, they have a list of cameras that work with it:

Reolink, Amcrest, and Eufy (only for their newer PoE line, they have a nice multi-lens feature and on-device processing for identification).

I’ve had a good experience with Reolink PoE cameras. They do RTSP and ONVIF and integrate well with Homeassistant.

Reolink are easy and cheap enough.

i am not sure what "stand alone" means but unifi protect is self hosted. amcrest can tie i to home assisstant

[–] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

With "stand alone" is meant a camara you can use without suplier software (at home or in the cloud).

I just want a camare that I can use with motion. (unify has local software, but still you need their software as far as I know)

I think they mean a cam that doesn't need to be plugged in through usb to work, like an ip camera.
