  But How can I see stuff remotely?

    Best way would be to set up a VPN that lets you connect to your home network remotely, and set up cameras that are only connected to your LAN

      I believe these types of cameras are used often by the average person. I don’t believe the average person would know how to set up a VPN

        Either you have the know how, or you pay someone with the know how. If you half-ass a solution with an AliExpress camera, you deserve what’s coming to you.

      Anyone got a good guide for beginners here?

        Prob not a beginner project, which is why people buy cloud based.

        By the time you get everything going you will no longer be a beginner. If you’re ready for that kind of undertaking check out MactelecomNetworks on YouTube.

        Just keep in mind that you’re on lemmy and the people here tend to be very enthusiastic about things like this this may or may not be very doable or necessary for the average individual

        Tailscale (which is open source) can host an entry point for a home VPN for you. Better security would be to host it yourself, which they also have instructions on how to set up, but even having them host is a security upgrade from using standard cloud cameras.

      Doesn’t that require a home server that runs 24/7, or is this something I can do from my TP-Link router without having to flash custom firmware?

        If you can, it’ll be in the router’s web console under something named like “VPN Server.” You’ll need a higher end router to have that function built in, though.

        You’d need to pay for an external server and domain name, but that’s generally cheaper than paying cloud subscriptions

    I have a camera connected to a raspberry pi running motioneye, remote connect to it with pitunnel, works pretty well.

  Using Lorex right now but I don’t really know how it works. Some type of NVR setup but allows for remote viewing on their app. I think it’s just sending video to lorex servers so we can stream on phone but don’t know if they’re saving the feed on their end or not. Haven’t heard any bad things from this brand so I hope it’s safe. Too lazy to do all the tailscale stuff.
