Anyone know a good security camera system.l? I bought one on Amazon. Blink. I want motion detection but the problem is it requires a monthly subscription to record the videos. It’s bullshit and I want one I don’t have to pay. I know someone who has blink and they don’t have to pay a monthly and anyways I was wondering if anyone knew another camera. Just a single camera for an apartment

I like Ubiquiti. They have a lot of good gear for both camera's and networking.

I have installed them for businesses as well as for my own home.

It will depend on how large of a system you would like to install but it can get expensive. However, nearly all of their cam's can record at 1080p+ .

You can go with a NVR (basically the recording storage and management software) or go with the Dream Machine Pro which can also function as your router, security gateway, vpn endping etc...

The software for the Ubiquiti camera system was built somewhat by the guy that manages the opensource "ZoneMinder" project that I have used in the past (and I would now if I didnt have the DMP as my camera recording system).

Also, One of the best parts of the system is that you can make it local-only if you want so it wont connect to any Cloud BS and all of your video is stored locally. That is how my system is currently setup.
