I am looking for a simple system for a vacation home that: (1.) has some basic cameras (indoor and outdoor — not alot, maybe one of each?) and (2) indicaitons when people are coming or going. So motion detection is a biggie. We’d rather not have to use one that is not monitored by a company. We don’t want a cloud based system, if at all possible. We want to keep the data stored locally. We don’t use Alexa, Google Home, Apple or anything like that. Privacy is important. (Nothing to hide… just hate the mass data mining/sharing/selling and general loss of privacy). We aren’t looking for temp/water monitoring, etc. We have very good wifi. We could do wired or wireless. We don’t need/want to monitor pets and general activity in the home. I’m not a big techie… so the advice for buiding one myself is daunting. I have seen the prepared posts “Best home alarm systems” and “Best home security cameras” — but still have not found something that seems to make sense. >>> I also posted in the alarm system section — FYI Thank you in advance for help and suggestions!
