Cams, anyone? (lemmy.today)

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has any good self-hosted security cam recs? Have plenty of space and server options, and next big thing on my list is to get rid of my battery cloud cams. They have worked well enough I guess for a few years, but really pretty slow and limited, wondering if anyone has experience with any self-hosted solutions, preferably with similar features ie: motion detection, app/webapp, maybe battery op?

I have a Reolink PoE camera. It works fine. As far as I can tell, it only uses the internet to check for updates and set the time, but I have it blocked off anyway. Home Assistant was actually causing it to check for updates, too, so that got disabled.
I don't record, so I can't help you there.
I will say that is a pain to get Home Assistant to display real-time video instead of a slide show.

you managed to get it in realtime though? may i ask how?

Eh? Shouldn't it be real time already?

this is my configuration:

  - camera_view: live
    type: picture-glance
    entities: []
    camera_image: camera.cam_profile000_mainstream
    tap_action:
      action: none

I am using ONVIF integration for the camera.

Mine even play audio

I haven't, that's the problem. It seems like it's possible, but I've given up trying for the moment.
