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 plan to use Surveillance Station in my Synology NAS.
Two PoE cameras on their own physical network. Everything is laying in the closet still as life just gets in the way, but hopefully it will be done this winter or spring.

I also have a Eufy 2k Doorbell camera with a hub for local storage.

None of it is for actual protection though, as burglaries are rare here. It's only because I love tech and to capture interesting moments. I also plan on making time lapses because they are cool.
