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

#SelfHosting week 1, phase 4. FINALLY.
The main architecture is up and running now.
Lemmy, WriteFreely, Castopod, today I'll get WordPress multisite running; my current site on shared hosting, runs a singular website where I created multilingual through "FullSiteEditing" WordPress feature; but it's quite difficult to maintain in long-term so 2 sites with 2 languages will make it better.
Now I have upgraded my hosting plan to Hostinger kvm2, and associated my VPS to the huge lifetime 10TB cloud I have, for podcasts. PCloud, through rclone. Next phase will be WordPress, then maybe to point various services to the right domain (plusbrothers.net and not .online). Most passages have been done via command line, and to find the right commands I've used google gemini. Unfortunately for some features, American (big) tech has still been useful. #accessibility #selfhost #activitypub #blog #multilingual #blind #WordPress

@troberts it was the awesome metal you were listening to, right? the couch couldn't contain itself.

@MelissaBearTrix does a small electric heater count?

@rufustheduck finding @dillyd right from the start is a nice find, one of the nicest posters here.
And posting cats is kind of an easy win here ;-)
Welcome, and have fun!

I'm loving the return of the light each morning. I don't notice so much in the evenings, but even a little light when waking changes the whole day. Come, Sun! Shine over us.

@hellomiakoda two paths I see are: drop the proprietary driver if mesa has decent enough support for your card, which should allow Wayland to work; or install a WM that still supports X11 and use that instead of KDE.
