    Hypothetically I want to secure my home with Cameras…

    What’s the best way to do this? OSS preferably.

      So, just an FYI, I bought Eufy cameras because I believed their marketing bullshit about being secure and end-to-end encrypted. About two months later they changed how they describe their security and quietly modified their privacy policy. Turns out they’re not really end-to-end encrypted and it is possible to gain access to the streams sometimes.

      My recommendation, after doing my research is not to buy anything that is able to be viewed remotely. Buy something that stores the video locally, in your home. If possible, buy and install wired cameras.

      The most important thing is just to have cameras that are positioned to watch you in bed.

      No-internet cameras hooked up to local storage.

      For remote access, you could use whatever you want to use for remotely accessing local files.

      I use a old phone with IP cam on it, and only allowed local network access connected to my home assistant.

      I can view it remotely via home assistant cloud, which is E2EE from instance to phone.

      I presume Raspberry Pi Camera is also a great solution. And also I dont put any camera in bedroom or bathroom, because there is no reasonably accessible entrance there.
