Jobsite Camera Advice (lemmy.world)

Hey All,

I could use some help in identifying a good set of cameras to use for monitoring and securing job sites for a contractor client of ours.

They are set up on Ubiquiti Protect for their own facilities, but we're interested in something that can be a bit more cloud-based (or at least not dependent on our own sites). We'd like these abilities:

  • Ability to share a URL on a camera-by-camera basis to clients can see their job progress live
  • 24x7 recording
  • Decent storage history (7-30 days is probably fine)
  • Online storage to protect against jobsite camera theft
  • infrared for night use

We're open to both cellular and non-cellular connectivity. Features like person detection and such are nice-to-haves rather than must-haves.

Any thoughts on something that's worked well for you?

Thanks, Siravious

I worked in the SysAdmin side of education and we frequently use Verkada. It has all the options you listed, and then some like license plate detection, person of interest detection and others. It has options for cellular install as well, and cameras like PTZ, domes, and bullets.
