Edit: ideally wifi cameras that I can solar power.

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.

    Most cameras are self hosted but they are not marketed to consumers because they require running cables to them either for power and/or data.

    Reolink camera with onvif so support can be connected to Frigate or Shinobi.

    Hikvison and Dahua are common Chinese brands that have lots of options across lots of prices points but are treated as insecure or hostile iot devices required closed networks.

    Costco often has camera and NVR packages that are passable.

    Whenever possible make sure any camera you get is onvif so you can use it with any NVR or software.

      HIkvision is great. Good value for money. Just do not use the app to configure them, use web gui. And yes, they need to be isolated from rest of network and the internet ( as pretty much any cameras).
