Hi all,

I’m planning to set up outdoor security cameras (garden and garage) and want to do it fully local, with no cloud.

My constraints:

  • 100% local storage, no vendor cloud or apps
  • PoE + ONVIF/RTSP, IP67, good night vision

Questions:

  1. Any better open or camera brands that work fully offline?
  2. Any firmware or hardening tips I might be missing?

Thanks!

    Barlus cameras can be pretty good, but they’re expensive. Poe, local web interface, onvif, up to ip68, some with night vision and built in ir+white LEDs.

    I think the management interface can reach out to their server but you can block that.

    I use one in my indoor pond to run a daily Livestream and it’s quite nice.

    But afaik no storage built in you’d have to manage that with some software on your own.
