Edit: ideally wifi cameras that I can solar power.

Looking to replace my Arlo cameras with something self-hostable. Arlo lets you store on a USB stick, but there’s no way to get out from under their cloud, which gets more expensive all the time.

    How did you get 12 months onto just 500 Gb? I only have a couple weeks worth on a 1 Tb ☹️ I’m using wyze cams w/ agent i-spy. I assume I need to upgrade my compression skills here.

      Motion activated recordings.

      Continuouse, even h265 recordings, can only 2 weeks or so per terabyte.

      Motion activated means he is probably recording 30 minutes per day vs 24 hours.
