So I have a few wyze cameras but it isn't the end of the world as I specifically placed them where they would benefit me but i wouldn't care if cops got access to the footage (so specifically pointing at my front door, not the street).
But apparently amazon has both the coral USB dongles and yet another pi 4 that I really don't need on sale so... yolo, let's frigate.
Anyone aware of any good wireless outdoor cameras that play well with that ecosystem? Will eventually run ethernet for POE and the like but "eventually" is not any time soon.
I’ve been using Amcrest cameras with Frigate and a Coral USB. It’s been working perfectly. My cameras are on a VLAN with no Internet access and it hasn’t caused any issues.
Do you have any of their doorbells? I went back to a physical doorbell button with home assistants sky connect dongle linked up to a motion sensor at the door just so I know when someone's there but would love to get a camera up there that isn't some ring bs
I have the Amcrest AD410 actually. I’m pretty sure the Amcrest app uses cloud but I could be wrong. That said, it integrates with home assistant and frigate perfectly at the local level so I get instant notifications when there is motion. If they ring the doorbell I leverage home assistant to be notified immediately along with a picture of when the button was pressed. I’ve been very happy with it.
