Yeah I get the wife part π I use KeepassXC for password so sync happens over Syncthing for desktop/laptop and WebDAV for mobile. Frigate is something I will eventually get in but first Iβve to decide on a good camera brand that can work 100% offline, right now all signs point at AMCrest but Iβm a bit undecided.
Frigate is wonderful, and getting better all the time. I also run Scrypted, which is another fantastic tool! The scrubbing on Scrypted NVR is a lot less painful, but a lot more expensive. I enjoy supporting small open source projects, though.
I did it pretty inexpensive in the cameras front. Got a bunch of TP-Link Tapo cameras, registered them in the app, set the rtsp and Onvif on Frigate, and completely blocked their internet access. Works like a charm with cameras in the $25-65 range.
My issue with tp-link is that their require their app for setup and they lose time once blocked from the internet.
I have not seen the time issue, maybe because Frigate handles all recordings and the cameras are just, well, cameras.
I'll look into that loosing time subject, and if it happens to me, I think there should be a way to change the NTP server, or at least I hope.
The cameras wonβt even pick on DHCP provided NTP. The best way to get around it seems to intercept all NTP traffic from the camera and fwd to the local server.
Ah, nice workaround. Thanks.
