Which is actually better because the chinese have no jurisdiction in the USA.
Comment on Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras?

just get a Chinese one like tapo so that the Chinese government can spy on you instead

i have 5 tapo cameras because they’re cheap and work well in HA and they aren’t allowed on the internet and only communicate with the app during onboarding and…
okay i’ll get rid of them
derpgon@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
For anyone not liking Tapo, a good alternative is Reolink. They offer about the same features, but use cameras with higher megapixels.

And can be configured to only communicate within your network.

How do you manage remote viewing without internet?
UntitledQuitting@reddthat.com 3 weeks ago
2 methods
home assistant (installed on mini pc thru proxmox) via the tapo: camera controls integration
frigate(installed on a dsm 7.2 synology) via go2rtc (mini pc)
also i’ve set my routers firewall settings so all the wifi cameras can only see each (and the mini pc)

Cheers.
Do you recommend tapo cameras? Are they poe?

A file server by Synology will have built-in software for this, or you can get a free one by not using a Synology server

Or hear me out,
Buy one that stores its data only on your local network and does not rely on corporate cloud or servers in any way or form.
This counts for all most all consumer home technology.
People should think about a NASS or Home servers like they do about owning a vehicle.

Build a server….in this economy? With these component prices?
Widukin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I just installed Linux on my old laptop, added a 4Tb SSD and some HDDs connected with a docking bay and voilà, I have a server. Getting into the software side, now that’s a bit harder but manageable.

I recommend proxmox!

You can get an old HP microserver on eBay for less than 100 bucks. Still runs fine. I threw debian on it. Great for starting out… I use mine for backups, services and Jellyfin.

Yeah right. Next you’ll be telling people to get off corporate owned social media and use something without an algorithm.

Lemmy uses an algorithm.

Technically yes, but unlike e.g. Facebook it isn’t specifically calibrated to prioritise engagement over anything like truth or sanity. www.predictiveanalyticsworld.com/…/12344/

I wholeheartedly agree. Hell, home server/nas should be more common than cars, I don’t drive every day, but my data is used every minute of every day.
