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?

Not rootless but I can see the device, and even in privileged mode it doesn’t work. I’m currently trying to find a docker image I can run as root and prove the Coral is working.

Can you use the coral in any capacity outside of podman? It's been a while, but I seem to recall similar issues, and using a different cable solved my issues. I specifically remember the cable being problematic, but not what the problem was (I'm pretty sure it wasn't because the first cable was a crappy charge-only thing)

For the record it turned out to be because I hadn’t set write permissions to the hardware for my user because ChatGPT told me I only needed read permissions to be set up. This must be the first time since its conception that AI’s made a mistake.
