Hi all,
I’m planning to set up outdoor security cameras (garden and garage) and want to do it fully local, with no cloud.
My constraints:
- 100% local storage, no vendor cloud or apps
- PoE + ONVIF/RTSP, IP67, good night vision
Questions:
- Any better open or camera brands that work fully offline?
- Any firmware or hardening tips I might be missing?
Thanks!


Set up 4 reolink RLC-510A cameras at my place when we moved in. Was running them off of ispyagentdvr for a while but a friend of mine has been working on an NVR that I’m currently testing out that works well.
Completely local POE cameras that didn’t break the bank and a free NVR that’s easy to set up and manage.
Highly recommend Reolink for this purpose
