I’ve heard good things about using thingino.com github.com/themactep/thingino-firmware/wiki
There was a post 8 days ago that got quite some feedback

I’m just testing out thingino, but it’s currently lacking features compared to amcrest.
There’s no option to only save video when events trigger, so it fills the card quickly.
And I can’t get the tinyCam app to access recorded files, so I have to use the web-based file browser.
But then Amcrest’s apps (both old and new) have do many faults and glitchy behavior.

Having the motion sensor trigger saving local recordings is an idea that have gotten a positive dev response.

I can’t find any discussions about accessing recordings using ONVIF or the tinycam app and don’t have any cams running personally.
I am planning on using thingino with frigate nvr and network storage later on so thanks for sharing your experience!

I’m referring to Amcrest Pro cameras, btw. They are the ones that let you configure them to be independent of their cloud service, write to a NAS, etc.
