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!

I think most PoE cameras work offline, but try to phone home. I use reolink ones and block thier internet access at the router.
