Frigate is good too
Just to add on to this:
Frigate is a open source solution that'll take any RTSP capable camera and give it super powers. All those AI features the companies like Ring and Nest advertise, but locally. Sure, there is a learning curve - but it isn't atrocious. And you'd need local hardware, but if you have a PC you could throw a $110 Coral USB Accelerator and get all this.
I think Frigate also works well with standard video cards nowadays?
Yes, that's the capacity I'm using it in. I don't have the Coral accelerator. I was trying to convey that pretty much any old PC and work for this with that one addon.
