The only reason why I hesitate to recommend Ubiquiti cameras is even their cheapest offerings are kind of expensive.
And although you can run isolated from the Internet, managing updates is a bit painful. (Ask me how I know)

They gave POE cameras that will just work with an Ethernet cable (although they gave weird POE requirements). Their USB powered ones are wifi connected.
Source: I’ve had them for years and am happy with the setup.

Money doesn’t corrupt, it just exposes.
- Comment on My domain is accessible from external networks but not from my internal network. Might anyone know why? 2 weeks ago:
You could either set up DNS overrides on your inwards facing DNS server, leaving external resolution to something like cloudflare (with DDNS), or you have a second internal domain for internal resolution.
I chose the latter for my homelab - it’s
service.lan.fqdninside andservice.fqdnon the outside. Since I use a wildcard cert, it’s still protected with TLS if I access it internally or externally. - Comment on Man Charged With 3 Felonies For Breaking 3D-Printed ‘Decoy’ Flock Camera 2 weeks ago:
Hey, apropos of nothing, if you’re interested in wireless propagation like Bluetooth or regular ol’ wifi, you might be interested in this oss project that helps identify sources of such signals!

Just in case you want to make sure you know what’s watching so you can be on your best behavior, fellow citizen.
- Comment on Critical Keycloak Vulnerability (CVSS 9.1) - CVE-2026-18963 2 weeks ago:
For me, I have multiple OIDC compatible systems (Proxmox, Netbox, Synology, Zabbix, Vault, etc).
So keycloak offers a SSO option to make my life easier with a single account to worry about instead of individual ones.
Plus MFA because it’s cool?
- Comment on Critical Keycloak Vulnerability (CVSS 9.1) - CVE-2026-18963 2 weeks ago:
This one is bad - unauthenticated user account take over.
If you’re like me and only using it internally on a homelab, the risks are lessened, but if you expose keycloak to by the Internet - boy howdy

I first read this as William Shatner and was incredibly upset at first, then severely confused for the last half.

As others have said, cap charging at ~80%. Unless you have a spare $150 for a nice UPS, I would use the built-in battery.
