That's why I only use inside cameras, eg dumb cameras where I can ensure that they are only accessible inside my LAN.
Can you recommend some reputable brands?
Literally any dumb webcam and a Raspberry Pi or similar will do. I used a webcam and an old laptop. But I never put up full time surveillance. Just spontaneously when I needed something.
Heard Ubiquiti was good.
Im happy with my ubiquiti cameras. They are pricy but solid.
Yeah that's the problem(same with automation. ) You have your own infrastructure- $$ but secure - or you have the backen offsourced to a remote server for a cheaper device and get data raped.
