> More recently Ubiquiti has gotten into this space, and I haven't had the opportunity to try their system yet but their products tend to be pretty good quality and ease of use for the rock-bottom prices - and as I understand it their premises-based NVR also runs the UniFi manager, so it makes it really easy to build out a large-campus WiFi-based solution but might also be a neat trick for home use if you want to use the great-for-the-price Ubiquiti APs and/or USG I recently set up UniFi Protect (their NVR software), a CloudKey 2+, a set of cameras, and a small UniFi SDN at a vacation home. I can confirm it's extremely simple to install and configure (at least for the audience reading comments on Hacker News; maybe not so much for laypeople). With the USG, you can fairly easily set up a site-to-site VPN to your other personal networks and, assuming you have the bandwidth, watch the video streams real-time from back home or elsewhere. The downside of the UniFi Protect model is that once adopted/managed by Protect, the cameras are not readily available for streaming to other NVRs, at least as far as I can tell. So if you wanted to integrate the UniFi cameras into a different NVR (e.g., to centralize multiple sites' cameras), it could get challenging if you also have Protect involved.
