Previously asked 2 years ago.

What are folks using these days? Reolink seemed to be a popular choice 2 years ago. I’ll start looking here.

I’ve been using Eufy (yeah, I know). Apparently, Eufy has a way to transfer clips to a NAS via RTSP. However, I’ve been seeing users complain that the transferred clips end up with degraded quality. Not great. De-great-ed.

My home server has plenty of space on it, so it would be cool if I could save clips (or all the video footage?) directly to my ZFS pool.

What do folks’ security camera setup look like?

    Some reolink cameras (B800 for sure) scramble the encoding to lock them to reolink NVRs. I used two of them with frigate by running neolink because fuck vendor lock in

    I had problems with the 0.6.x series but 0.5.18 ran well enough. I abandoned those cams because they would occasionally switch to sending static to frigate and locking it down.
