  That’s why I only use inside cameras, eg dumb cameras where I can ensure that they are only accessible inside my LAN.

    Can you recommend some reputable brands?

      Literally any dumb webcam and a Raspberry Pi or similar will do. I used a webcam and an old laptop. But I never put up full time surveillance. Just spontaneously when I needed something.

      Heard Ubiquiti was good.

        Im happy with my ubiquiti cameras. They are pricy but solid.

        Where would be a good place to ask for advice about setting these things up? It's not something I want to start looking in to quite yet but once I move in a few months I'd really like to set something up and I know I'm going to need some advice..

      I believe that Reolink cameras plus an NVR allow, but don’t require, completely offline recording.

      There aren’t any. The best you can do is accept that they’re compromised and firewall them off from everything except the NVR it’s supposed to talk to. Put the whole camera network on a separate VLAN with no gateway.

    I don’t have any security cameras, but unless you have a whole bunch of computers at home, a LAN is what, 3 maybe 4 machines? Those could easily all be stolen by the person who breaks into the house with the cameras.

    I don’t know what the solution here is because I sure wouldn’t trust the Internet as the solution.

      A LAN could be zero machines. Point is IP addresses are not routable on the public internet.

        That’s not really the point. The footage from the camera has to be stored somewhere. Either locally or remotely. If it’s remote, there’s a chance of it leaking. If it’s local, the machine it’s on could get stolen. So again, I don’t know what the solution is.
