Cams, anyone? (lemmy.today)

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?

whatever you use can write the date & time onto the camera images, otherwise it isn’t usable for any police / insurance claims.

Weird. I mean, could you just access the properties of said picture to reveal the date taken?

    Sure, but the same is true for embedded timestamps. Just put a black bar over it with the time and date in white. Claim that the system does it that way, done.

    If the timestamps on the current live cctv image looks completely different, then you're out of luck using it as evidence.

    After all, it's your video evidence, why would you want to fake it if you're trying to prove that someone stole that Amazon parcel off your front door step...
