Looking to replace my Arlo cameras with something self-hostable. Arlo lets you store on a USB stick, but there's no way to get out from under their cloud, which gets more expensive all the time.

Many selfhosted NVRs have been suggested. Personally ive tried:

iSpy

Frigate

Zoneminder

Shinobi

Ended up settling on zoneminder at this stage.

For cameras themselves i just want to point out the OpenIPC project - opensource firmware if youre technically inclined

Edit: I'm hesitant to recomment OpenIPC now since the main streamer is closed source. Thingino is fully open and developed by some of the devs who didn't agree with the closed source portion

Openipc looks interesting. Just did a quick search and it's kind of difficult to find a camera that specifies it's chip.

Yeah, I'm willing to try it if I knew which cameras are supported, not just what chip.

[-] abominable_panda@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, i faced the same challenge. I understand why they do it like that (cameras potentially mixing socs)...

I think there are some make/ models on their project but its far and few. Ive flashed 1 camera so far but had to check the soc myself

I need to crack open my (cheap chinese) cameras and check them at some point. Ive noticed them pinging my pihole for secu100 for cloud services. At least theyre blocked for internet access!
