Hello all, I’m in the market for a privacy-respecting security doorbell camera and a wide view camera with the following features: (not all of them are required, however)

-Motion detection

-Decent sized local storage*( I saw one that came with a 2TB drive but I don’t think they had a cloud storage)

-Cloud storage* (no subscriptions would be great)

I briefly looked at the r/privacy and a lot of recommendations have third parties like Amazon web services for their cloud storage which I don’t feel very comfortable with. I’m looking forward to hearing about the products you guys swear by.

Thanks.

    Ubiquiti NVR Instant kit is a great value, and you get 24h local recording without a subscription. And it is well supported with Home Assistant.

    Some of the UniFi cameras are amazingly expensive though, $500 for an outdoor 4K camera is hard to swallow. But if you can swing it, you will not regret the investment.

    I already have other UniFi gear for networking and it was natural to add cameras to the system.

    Apparently UniFi Protect works with 3rd party cameras if they support ONVIF but I don’t know of any yet.
