What hardware and software do you use for home surveillance? (lemmy.crimedad.work)

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?

I misunderstood what you were saying, I wasn’t sure if protect required a UniFi hardware console or could be self hosted like the network application can be. It looks like it does require at least a Cloudkey gen 2 (or the plus which is what they currently sell) or one of their integrated consoles like a UDM.
