Hello selfhosters!
I have what is hopefully a simple ask. I am looking for some outdoor cameras for my sister, who is not at all tech savvy. I am, to an extent, and I’d like to get her set up with a small, remotely-manageable system to view and record the outside of her home. I’d wager there’s a plethora of selfhost software that can be run on a number of systems (I’m thinking something cheap like a Raspberry Pi), to connect to an external HDD for camera storage.
I’m also looking for camera suggestions for this purpose. Wi-Fi cameras are ideal, since we don’t have the means to run ethernet for PoE.
Thank you for your time, and I hope you all have a wonderful week :)
Dahua where top of the class, unfortunately hard to find today. I run like 8 of them.
Reolink maybe, but own one and not really at par with Dahua.
If anybody knows who is the successor to dahua, let me know.
Chaper than that, sorry, it’s going to be shit.
Dahua is still a top manufacturer, but does not focus on selling to individual consumers.
In the US, you will find Dahua cameras being sold most often by Amcrest and Lorex.
