I tried wyze and find it silly how video clips are limited to 5 seconds unless you give them money every month. I want something where the footage is saved on a local sdcard/hdd without any cloud reliance.
Even better if I don’t have to be locked into using the manufacturer’s app, but I’m flexible on that.


Just get wired cctv cameras with a local controller. I got a 4 cam setup with 1tb storage about 6 years ago. Took like 5 hours to drill a few holes, install grommets, and run cables from the attic. I’ve never had a single problem with it. On the flip side ANY wireless cam system you can buy can easily be knocked offline, and infiltrated with a laptop and the right wifi Usb card.
Spend $10, spend $10000. Doesn’t matter. If it’s wireless only, it’s vulnerable
