I've tried motioneye and zone minder and they were too complicated or CPU intensive and didn't record audio, so I ended up writing a multiprocess python script with ffmpeg to directly write out raw video data. I've got months of continuous video from two cameras on a 1 TB SSD. I purchased ieGeek 1080p ip cams, but they were not PoE so I bought adapters. Might be easier to just get PoE cams directly.

Here's the script: https://github.com/erahhal/ipcam-recorder https://github.com/erahhal/ipcam-recorder I added the script as a systemd service that starts up on its own.
