It's amazing how bad the camera ecosystem is. Lots of products that do lots of things badly and maybe one thing ok.

Looks like you've got some work to do, get to buildin'

@broox Start a company that does this and make billions 🤷‍♂️.

Part of the solution: take a gander at @netatmo . L… t.co/eAQLczFfdE

Otherwise, Ubiquti

TLDR

@webbc @netatmo neatamo cameras look nice, but no battery / PoE options make it a deal breaker.

If unifi offered a battery powered camera and black cases for their cams, this is probably the route I'd go. Ring checks nearly all of my boxes, but local storage is a hack, and I don't like the way they look, heh.

Isn’t the lack of local storage the model to maximize profits? The margin on the cameras and software can’t be as high as the subscriptions.

Yea. I’m fine paying for the cloud storage option, I just want em to still work if the internet goes out, and also to keep copies of the video around.

Develop a contingency system similar to a sump backup.
