Hey all, just wondering if anyone has any good self-hosted security cam recs? Have plenty of space and server options, and next big thing on my list is to get rid of my battery cloud cams. They have worked well enough I guess for a few years, but really pretty slow and limited, wondering if anyone has experience with any self-hosted solutions, preferably with similar features ie: motion detection, app/webapp, maybe battery op?

@empireOfLove2 @Windex007 Just keep them off the network. There is no reason for a security camera to have LAN access.

How you gonna get the video feed off an IP cam and onto your NVR without connecting it to your network?

You're not seriously suggesting using old analog cameras in 2025, are you?

Maybe they mean main network? Lots of people seem to have a separate vlan with strict rules on what they can cobtact for IoT devices nowadays due to how poorly secured they are.
