For non cloud cams, someone posted here a while back about thingno firmware, takes cheap cams off the cloud. Works great on a wyze cam and was a gamechanger for me. Sttrroonngglllyyy recommend

Oh thank god. This solves my problem of no good integrated can hardware on the market that isn’t cloudified or a huge security hole.

@empireOfLove2 @Windex007 Just keep them off the network. There is no reason for a security camera to have LAN access.

How you gonna get the video feed off an IP cam without connecting it to your network?
You’re not seriously suggesting using old analog cameras in 2025, are you?

Maybe they mean main network? Lots of people seem to have a separate vlan with strict rules on what they can cobtact for IoT devices nowadays due to how poorly secured they are.

New to me & bookmarked. I am sure I have some crap lying around that this would work with.
Thank you!

I see it supports many cameras, but you need to pull them apart and use a serial hookup to flash the firmware… but for the wyze cams and a few others you can flash them directly with an SD card.
I liked how cheap the wyze cams were but desperately wanted to get them offline. This was my silver bullet.
