I don't have yet any preferences. Cheap, easy to set up, secure. What do you use and can recommend?

I’ve owned a bunch of Foscam cameras, a sub-brand owned by Amcrest.

Amcrest and its Foscam sub-brand seem very interested in getting access to your cameras, have less capable and less convenient software, and the cameras themselves seem less well built than Reolink.

I bought a half a dozen V1 Wyze cams, and at least two of them have failed. I won’t touch that brand again. I also would never have used Wyze at all except for the exploit that allowed custom firmware installation for real local access and control.

Are you using an Amcrest IP4M-1041B, can you have a look at this? https://lemmy.world/post/16883143. Thank you.

I thought Reolink cameras were just rebranded Amcrest...or is it just the chips and lenses?

I will be using them with Frigate so I'm not too worried about the janky software unless it affects how Frigate operates
