I’d like to be able to record through the peephole if possible. Otherwise I’m looking for something discreet that is waterproof for outside
I don’t want to use ring or another unsecure platform, but I don’t know what to search for to even start looking for what I need. I’m not in a position to self-host locally, at least immediately as long as it’s something simple, pretty sure an rpi can handle that task but I’ve never played with one before. All my computer related skills have gotten very rusty
Are there privacy respecting products that work out of the box?
Edit- it was a false alarm and I feel incredibly silly but it was a good heads up. My neighbor had their package recently stolen so I was a little jumpy
Thank you for the suggestions! I’ll look into them all individually but I’m quite out of my depth. I’m not sure how to differentiate privacy forward or not
Neither of those 2 companies are privacy respecting though.
I have a Reolink doorbell cam. I bought the POE version, have it connected to Frigate on my server for object detection purposes and triggering alerts, and the alerts are delivered via Home Assistant notifications.
So I guess it’s possible to do it reasonably privately, even if using the Reolink app isn’t.
If you use any cloud functions. But cloud just means someone else’s computer, so nothing is guaranteed anyway. For local though, as long as your network is secure, so is your data, as much as it can be.
How do I verify companies? This is where I’m lost. I have the idea of what I want but not the words
Is there a trusted site that focuses on privacy that reviews products or companies for their integrity?
