I'm open to closed source if I can host it locally and costs less than $200 + the cost of the cameras :P

And yes, my home server running Ubuntu does have an Intel iGPU as it's a Lenovo ThinkCentre M900

Thank you, I've been recommended Frigate recently, I'll take a look at it :)

It takes a bit to set up, but I've been running it to detect people and save clips/images for a couple years. Works pretty well. I'd recommend getting a coral tpu to offload the person detection though.

Would the USB version work fine? Seems relatively affordable for what it is.

That's the one I have.

I think BlueIris full retail copy is something like $50. You pay yearly for upgrades which is around $25. It’s gone through many major upgrades. They do have a trial you can grab to give it a shot.

Looks like the full retail copy is $135 CAD (I have two cameras), but it doesn't support Linux as far as I can tell :(

Only downside to it. Ran it in a windows VM in Unraid for about 5 years.
