I have Nest right now and Google changed the parameters when they bought it out. It not only got way more expensive, they won’t show your video or picture history at all unless you buy a subscription. Nest would show 24 hours worth.
I want to add another camera, but I’m now willing to eat the cost of a new system and not have to depend on the cloud. We’re not a super techy household though. Is there an easy way like the nest or close to that easy?
Edit: These are outdoor security cameras
I have one from Reolink for some years now that, although has cloud features, can also work purely offline. You can connect to it through the browser and view as far back as the sd card you put on it allows. It still kept trying to dial home though, maybe for updates, blocked it on the firewall just for safety.
That’s sus enough to be a showstopper for me.
That looks interesting, was it easy to set up?

Reolink are quite easy to set up and work with, and they work great without internet connectivity.
Don’t get Wyze or Blink.
