Cloud services for controlling things inside your house are the worst (github.com)

I recently moved away from MyQ to local control of my garage door and I've been loving it. I stumbled across the linked issue where MyQ shit the bed for roughly 3 days and it just confirms to me that the extra effort to move away from a cloud service was worth it. I'm down to just one last cloud service for something inside my house. My mind is pretty much made up that if I can't accomplish it locally, I won't do/use it.

Anyone have some recommendations for a camera system without a cloud component?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anything RTSP will do, but I'd recommend VLAN the shit out of it unless you are confortable having it call home every second.

I use wyze cameras with custom firmware.

Ooo, you can do that with Wyze? That'd be the best of both worlds. I'll go search on it, but if you have any advice, I'm all ears.
