Security Cams for Home (NEST ?)

[PR3MIUM]

Currently looking for some Security Cams and Doorbells for my Smart Home in 2024

Have seen that some users (@shabbs) here already have some Nest Cams from Google.
Would love to upgrade my Smart Home with some Security Cams.
As we have some refugees from Syria and other Countries, just to be on the safe-side.

Maybe some advice too, having iOS and have seen that there is a monthly Plan for arround 10€/$ to record all for 30/60 days online/wifi to save it or having a backup.
Would love to have arround 2-3 devices outdoor and 1 doorbell.

Any advice is welcome

Amcrest PoE cams or similar. Invest in a good PoE managed switch and a NVR. Sure, you will have to run Ethernet but it is well worth it not to worry over poor WIFI from the cams. You can also put micro SD cards in the cams that will record a lot. I've built a cam server from an old PC with an i5 processor and a 512 GB SSD. Runs Debian 12 and Zoneminder doing motion detection. Both free! And I can access my cams from anywhere.

NestCams these days are a bit lower resolution, e.g 1080p - but over WiFi they pretty solid...

Have to engage them with Google Home App - free accounts are 3 hours for events

They're ok for casual usage - for more - consider a dedicated NVR and Cam setup...
