Are there good local backup options? I have some Ubiquiti gear but their camera system seems too locked down
Comment on Is it time to ring the alarm on internet door cameras?

I use unifi cameras that save to a local nvr which is inaccessible off my network.

Blue Iris will use pretty Much any cameras including Ubiquiti, has a mobile app for viewing and alerts, and has self hosted AI object recognition using code project. Its entirely off the grid if you want it to be.

Hm. I’m not sure.
I know they expose rtsp or rstp or whatever protocol, so maybe you could wire something up to record off the stream.

Been eyeing this. I have older unifi internet equipment, and with a recent wifi radio purchase, I realize one seems to need their cloud key or gateway products now

I think you only need the controller or phone app for setup or config changes. Though it is easier, in my opinion, to just run a controller. You can (at least last time I checked) still self host one if you like. If you’re just doing network config and monitoring, you don’t need much in terms of performance.

Yep. This is the way. G4 Pro is pretty good, too.
