I was very aware of this "sharing" of footage when I bought my camera system and intentionally did not buy ring and other brands because I want to own that video. I went so far as to not connect my system to the internet which gives me less options (i.e. see it on my phone anytime) but sometimes privacy comes with a price.
A VPN can take care of that last part.
You mean running my own VPN phone to house, right? Not a paid VPN.
Yup, a simple Wireguard setup would work fine.
I also like Tailscale, but unless you're running it with Headscale, then technically they hold the keys.
WireGuard server running on OpenWRT is ๐๐ผ
Some paid VPNs can handle it as well, but yeah you likely want something self hosted.
Are they still accessable from the local net, preferably with some auth even without the internet feed? That sounds like a pretty ideal thing to me. Recording and motion ssense starting...
Really what I want is a simple cam that can dump a circular buffer to the NAS via a NFS/smb share and local net live view. Seems simple but yet rare.
Frigate + HASS.
All my cameras are accessed with Frigate, which stores everything on a NAS (400TB...). Since I can mount up a coral.ai I can do object detection and throw away the frames/recordings that have literally nothing going on. HASS fronts the whole UI for myself and my other users(wife/kids). Cameras don't have access to the internet at all... Local access is sufficient to get it into the interfaces that I need it in.
