Home security cameras

The C2 Cloud cameras in that video are also the ones I mentioned here, but I haven’t actually reviewed them so I can’t really say whether they’re good or bad yet. They don’t come out until Q4 2024.

Synology Surveillance Station — the app on your NAS, not in the cloud at all — is different than the cameras I looked at in the video. Surveillance Station is generally regarded to be very good, if you already have a Synology NAS. I overall like it from what I’ve tested/seen, but I don’t really have a serious deployment with it, so take that with a grain of salt. It’s of course also not open source, and has some weird licensing pricing.


As far as open source goes, I mainly see people talk about these three NVR options (that you would pair with any IP camera), but I don’t have much experience with them myself:
