Thanks for the details! yea i picked up a generic chinese camera and did not at all like the required login to their servers... I’m not confident enough in my sysadmin skills to make sure this thing isn’t spying on me. I’m considering spending 4x-5x the amount on better hardware..

Just to understand the need gap, how much would you be willing to pay for a RPi nano/ESP camera setup with Motion Eye which allows you to store the data in your own NAS?

  $300-$500 ballpark. especially if the pi is usable for other (relatively light) home server uses and the camera network is extensible

    Thanks, not sure whether a Pi Nano can handle more than a feed from 1080p/60 camera 24/7 but I'll post the need gap of self hosted IP camera setup in my problem validation platform[1] to find existing solutions and to see if others want it. [1] https://needgap.com https://needgap.com

      interesting project! thanks for referencing it. how long have you been running it and what’s the experience been like?
      - Abishek_Muthian 6y ago
        Thanks, I've been running it for a year. I have detailed, why I created it here[1]. Experience has been great, I has got me valuable insight in using language/grammar to differentiate problems vs startup ideas and issues in doing that. What I have learnt so far is that, It's easier to think what we come up with is a 'startup idea' than 'identifying a problem/need gap'. I'll be improving it in the coming years to study more on the topic. [1]https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23939514 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23939514
