I’d like to set up three or four cameras on the exterior of my house, but I’m not sure where to start with this project. Ideally, these cameras would get power over Ethernet and record to a hard drive in my house that I could access remotely with a decent user interface. If the system could notify me when movement is detected that would be ideal as well. I don’t like the idea of using a Google, Amazon, or similar product because I don’t want to pay a subscription and I want to have control of the footage. What are you using that more or less accomplishes what I’ve described?

    Dog hardware … with dog software I guess. Barks mostly reliably, but sometimes bugs out and keeps barking for no reason.

      I need to get one. My cat hardware does okay with pest control, but not so great with security.
