Oh they definitely do sell it. And the more money you spend the crazier it gets (cross-camera facial recognition? you can go full blown surveillance on your neighborhood).
I bought a Synology NAS and I just added cameras on my home network in the web UI.
Does motion tracking, auto recording and the app rocks. It doesn’t ping me but I also haven’t looked for that feature.
- nicolas_t 4y agoWhat cameras did you end up using? I'm looking for good recommendations.
- thrashh 4y agoAmcrest is pretty good as long as you get an ONVIF-compatible model. Their PoE cameras are better than their Wi-Fi models, but I found that their indoor Wi-Fi models are not bad. I haven't had any luck with their outdoor Wi-Fi models though. For Wi-Fi outdoor, I've been trying Reolink. I actually have had one die and another one keeps resetting so I'm not sold. I've heard Hikvision is good but they're more expensive and I haven't tried them yet. I also think they really care whether you buy it from an authorized retailer.
- hot_gril 4y ago> It doesn’t ping me Well that's a crucial requirement. Should ping by default. Even if you can turn it on, I don't trust that they really put that feature first if it's buried in the settings.
- thrashh 4y agoIt may not be buried. I might have just turned it off. I always turn it off right away. I consider pinging a major cause of paranoia (see NextDoor), an invasion of my community’s privacy, and honestly I live in a safe area and insurance covers everything anyway.
