Security camera #recommendations please!
After getting a bike nicked from a locked shed in a locked yard a couple of weeks ago, @rpbook and I are looking into setting up a security camera.
We've tried using apps on phones and tablets and they just didn't work well, so we're looking at spending actual money on a dedicated device.
There is a convenient window it can live in, so it doesn't need to be weatherproof. There's a nearby socket for power, so battery life is irrelevant.
It must:
- take clear video / images in the dark
- not rely on some third party server that might disappear
- not cost thousands
- just keep running without much active poking
- be available in the #UK
We'd like it to:
- take video when movement is detected
- store files to our NAS in sensible formats
- notify us when it starts recording (by email, for preference)
- be available somewhere less icky than Amazon
- have good after sales service
- be simple to use and check (though we can manage a degree of technical setup because Robin is a computer toucher)
So, folks, what do we think?
TIA -

Frigate
TP link cameras for the IP address and stick a SD card in for back up
If you have a old computer frigate should be able to work on that ... Another way is install home assistant and then frigate as a add in
I love frigate ... Set up is medium level ... I found Gemini helped a lot with config files
Ask any questions,.and if I can answer I will

TP link cameras I have played with us the c210 for ratcam setup and c264 for other things
The reason I'm using tp link is that they last 3 to 4 years like most other stuff ... And a good price point
The tapo link is also good and easy to use

and you could always watch the local teams. nowadays it's possible to be blacked out unless you have netflix for example (next season in mlb).

@ianrogers nice

but you couldn't pay a little extra to get rid of the ads.
