Ask HN: Best DIY video surveillance system
Hi guys, what's the best DIY video surveillance system?
I plan to install one of it in my house.
System should be solid, I tend to avoid low supported projects.
I prefer to install video storage locally but it's not a constraint.
Recordings should be available from the web (even on mobile browsers).
I've see Logitech Alert. Any alternative?
- vitovito 14y agoNot really. Dropcam and the Logitech units seem to be the best-in-class. If you're not in a hurry, wait for the camera module for the Raspberry Pi, and then for projects like ZoneMinder to adopt it. It's expected to stream 1080p30, 720p60, and full 5MP (2592x1944) resolution at at least 1fps.
- micred 14y agoThank you! I think I will buy three Logitech Alert. Other alternatives are: 1) Vuezone (but it's not suitable for 365/24 usage) 2) third party cameras with software like Bluecherry, BlueIris, iSpy.
