It takes some effort but home assistant can work as a full security system. Its also local-only and you control all of your data/sensors/etc. It is very DIY though and you will need to put in the time to not only set it up but to build your own alerts/actions/integrations.

I also am using Ubiquiti for Security cam's and it can integrate with my home assistant setup as well. I am considering adding in some of their door lock and access card stuff but that's a project for another time.
