Privacy-Friendly Security Cameras Recs (lemmy.ca)

Hello all, I'm in the market for a privacy-respecting security doorbell camera and a wide view camera with the following features: (not all of them are required, however)

-Motion detection

-Decent sized local storage*( I saw one that came with a 2TB drive but I don't think they had a cloud storage)

-Cloud storage* (no subscriptions would be great)

I briefly looked at the r/privacy and a lot of recommendations have third parties like Amazon web services for their cloud storage which I don't feel very comfortable with. I'm looking forward to hearing about the products you guys swear by.

Thanks.

I share a similar stance on general street surveillance by the likes of Ring. But on the flip side I understand that people may want to extend the scope of security cameras onto the street due to vehicle vandalism for example, so I make sure to smile my sweet smile when I notice them.

Thanks to @Charger8232@lemmy.ml & @irmadlad@lemmyis.fun for yet another perfect example of what I love about Fediverse, this is why it's so much better than "the other place"
