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!

    May or may not be an option for you but buy any camera that supports rtsp, only allow that traffic from their network through and block everything else. Works fine for me and my Amcrest cameras. You could accomplish this with a pi and a USB network card and some basic iptables.

      Thanks for the suggestion. Amcrest is a new one to me. I’ll check them out.
