i'm open to recommendations for a basic outdoor security camera that can stream directly to either ubuntu linux or windows without going through the cloud. i was at canada computers earlier today, and asked for something wireless but which i would be happy if it needed to be plugged into an outlet for power. mostly, i wanted something that i could put out on the deck and which would, if i heard some sort of animal ruckus out there, allow me to in real time view what was happening; that's it. but it seems that almost everything requires uploading to the cloud, so the manufacturers can make money on annual subscriptions for storing your data for you. that's a show-stopper for me -- i want something for which *nothing* leaves my home network. the canada computers guy suggested this one: https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/security-cameras/193911/eufy-cam-pro-2k-smart-outdoor-ip-camera-with-spotlight-white-t8441121.html so i bought it but haven't opened it yet, going to read the manual first. but can anyone refer me to other possibilities? rday To unsubscribe send a blank message to linux+unsubscribe [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org To get help send a blank message to linux+help [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org To visit the archives: https://lists.linux-ottawa.org
