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:

  1. Any better open or camera brands that work fully offline?
  2. Any firmware or hardening tips I might be missing?

Thanks!

    Put the cams on their own VLAN with no route to the internet and let Frigate pull the RTSP streams. Block DNS for that VLAN too, or they’ll keep trying to phone home. Curious what you pick for the NVR side.
