A friends mother that I used to rent a room from asked me to help her set up an outside home security system with motion sensors so she could watch the neighborhood cats cat around in her yard. I thought I’d screenshotted a previous Lemmy thread that had a perfect recommendation, nope. Can’t find it.
I recently got my CCNA and figured it would be good practice to set it up for her. she wants 4 cameras with motion sensors for each. What system would you recommend, with what software? (Not connected to the internet of course, going to set up a server for her with one of the old computers she has laying around)
Thanks Lemmy! And yes I realize I could Google but figured I’d ask y’all lmao
I use both Blue Iris and Arlo. They both have pros and cons. I am using the free Arlo storage (two weeks, I think). My Blue Iris setup is local only atm and their software is quite good. I use a W10 VM to host it. I tried using a Synology, but it pounds the disks constantly so I found the VM better suited.
