Ask HN: Video Doorbell Without Subscription?
5 by user568439 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I've found the Eufy option with local storage and it looks great, but still I have some privacy concerns. Also some people is complaining about delay with the notifications. If possible I would like it to run with battery but I guess I could install a cable one. Another feature that I find interesting is to be able to switch off the internet access and only allow within the local network when I'm at home. In the future I would like to setup more home automation devices like the thermostat and an alarm system. So I guess I should go for an open source approach. The problem I see too many options out there and the hardware part is even more confusing to me. That's why I was looking in ready to use products. My developer skills are also very limited but I think I could learn this part. But for now I would like to start with a good choice for my first device since my regular doorbell stopped working.
