I find that I need a security camera for my back yard. Do you folks recommend any particular makes & models? It should avoid the cloud but record locally. I’m somewhat handy with Linux and a RaspberryPi, if that helps.

Thanks!

    I’m not interested, for numerous reasons, in anything produced by or in China.

    I really like the concept of PoE cameras for the same reasons. Given where they’ll be installed, I’d rather only climb onto the roof or into attic crawlspaces once. :)

      You should know that many, if not all US “made” cameras are only rebranded Chinese cameras.

      For example Amcrest of Texas is actually owned by the Chinese Foscam and sells rebranded Dahau cameras. Reolink is also Chinese. Even premium US companies like Ubiquity have their cameras made in China.

        Yes, I know it’s difficult to impossible to avoid China in this domain. That won’t stop me trying. :)
