A friends mother that I used to rent a room from asked me to help her set up an outside home security system with motion sensors so she could watch the neighborhood cats cat around in her yard. I thought I’d screenshotted a previous Lemmy thread that had a perfect recommendation, nope. Can’t find it.

I recently got my CCNA and figured it would be good practice to set it up for her. she wants 4 cameras with motion sensors for each. What system would you recommend, with what software? (Not connected to the internet of course, going to set up a server for her with one of the old computers she has laying around)

Thanks Lemmy! And yes I realize I could Google but figured I’d ask y’all lmao

    I run frigate, and home assistant. Frigate alone doesn’t have any auth, which is fine on my lan but it complicates remote access. I put it behind caddy with basic auth, but I’d like to find a more elegant solution.

      Just found cosmos cloud again after losing track of the post, was thinking of maybe going with that for my next iteration of my family cloud replacement project. My only gripe is that the mesh VPN they recommend for remote access has no iOS client at the moment. Pretty sure you can use Cloudflare tunnels though.
