My amcrest cameras have been good, but hikvision has been even better. They’re sneaky though so make sure they’re on an isolated vlan.
Comment on Cams, anyone?

Frigate + Reolink (or actually Frigate-approved cams)

I have 3 imou dahua chinesium wifi cameras which are working nicely. They would be even better if I could get some cable to them. I think the most important aspect is the onvif protocol, then the encoding should be standard h264 no other bullshit, then cable if possible.
I love frigate so much!

That’s what I like about the hiks I have. They are configurable from the web browser. Some of my amcrest I had to bang an API over curl to keep the time zone set

Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate

Used them before, but you have to be kinda careful with Amcrest, every once in awhile they throw one out that is especially shitty to self host.

This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.
