I know it's fashionable to shit on Plex here, but OP either has his server misconfigured or is just trying to stir the pot:

Free to Use: Video (movies & TV) streaming of personal content on the same local network as the Plex Media Server

Also the weekly intentionally misunderstanding how Plex pass/Plex remote pass works in order to complain:

Wow, 7tb for $21/month. That's much better than I've been seeing.

Problem with that is there is no backup in case of flood/fire/tornado etc.

Yeah it sucks because Microsoft charges $10/mo for 6tb.

Anyone know of a good managed hosting (or vps) for Immich that doesn't break the bank? I have about 5TB of photos/videos and I don't feel safe without a remote backup. I played with self hosting and I really (really) like Immich but I keep Google photos/Drive just to ensure I won't lose anything.

Hm I like that idea. That's a bit out of my wheelhouse but worth looking into. Maybe also have two zones? A larger one to trigger the location update?

Hmm my phone always takes a few minutes to update that I'm home.

Ah ok thanks, so just to be clear, when you come home it will still "alert" you to an "intruder" (until your GPS updates presumably).

That's cool, so with the AI chip it can recognize individuals people and pets? Just wondering how you prevent it from alerting you for well, you.

Last I looked into this Frigate was the most robust path to take, they recommend cameras that are about $50-$100 each but in my playing around I connected a Yi camera ($10) with custom firmware.

That said it was all a bit over my head and I had trouble connecting it to home assistant and gave up

I would love a follow up post with whatever setup you go with!
