[kwlug-disc] home security cameras

[Colin Mackay]

I've also been looking at an NVR, like this
<https://reolink.com/product/rlk8-811b4-a/>, from Reolink
<https://reolink.com/>.  They're not the 100% best cameras, or anything,
but they seem to hold their own with some of the more expensive brands.
The upside of this is you get an NVR, which is the POE switch, it records
24/7, as well as marks motion detection.

The downside is remote access, you'd need to either poke a hole in your
firewall, or do something with Cloudflare and tunnels to be able to access
it remotely, IIRC.

For me, that's fine.  Homelab all the way...  but for the average user, not
so great.
