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 :)
Anything that can be flashed with Thingino firmware. Give that a shot.
I have no ties to this project - I just think it’s really cool.
If this does what it says it’ll do, this is ABSOLUTELY the answer
I mean, the one Wyze Cam v3 I have with it seems to have been working well over the last 36 hours.
I did a wyze cam 3 yesterday too lol.
So far so good!
Wow that’s an awesome project! Thanks for sharing, now I can get a camera that’s inexpensive, has everything I want and doesn’t require malware to be installed on my phone/network!
