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 know Louis Rossman did it with his security cameras. He can view them on his phone. He did a tutorial about it, but I don’t know if it was on his channel or one of his other free software foundation channels. There’s definitely a video on YouTube about it, though.
