Wow that's crazy racist wtf.
Systemic failures aren't character flaws.
We aren't sacrificing our cat for a vacation. She'll be well taken care of while we're away, we just wanted to set up a simple method of checking on her when the urge strikes us without bothering the cat sitters to drop what they're doing and check on her at any hour of the day or night.
This actually sounds like it fits my priorities pretty solidly. I'll look into Reolink, thanks.
I was honestly leaning more and more toward an off the shelf solution like this. I kindof agree with you about it not being worth it to use a fiddly roll-your-own setup like this, especially with such short notice. Plug and play sounds really attractive.
How do you like the Amcrest cameras and remote monitoring solution? Do they have a good reputation for security I hope? I'm afraid I'm completely in the dark about these types of security camera companies.
Edit: just reread this and saw that you're running the Amcrest cameras through Frigate. Was that setup something that you think could be done in an afternoon? Or have you had to mess with things often? Simplicity and ease of setup are probably my highest priorities for this.
Does zoneminder handle secure remote connections on it's own somehow? Or will I need a separate solution to access my LAN while away?
Respectfully, I really dont want this thread to be about my cat so much as the question at hand.
I've never messed with home assistant. Is it very simple to set up for a live stream like this? I agree that that the NVR solutions seem like overkill for my needs.
I've done some reading on setting up wiregaurd in the past, but havent actually deployed it before either. For a short term solution, opening up a port for it seems like a good compromise.
It is actually a technology question. My cat's care is being taken care of separately from this solution. This is just a supplementary setup that we'd like to have to be able to see her sometimes while we're away.
I'm not expecting an ad-hoc camera system to care for our cat while we're away. We have friends who will be visiting and spending time with her every day while we're gone. This is just so that we can check on her occasionally while we're away. Her illness is long term and managed with medications, but that doesnt stop my partner and I from worrying.

A three way vinn-diagram with pirates, vampires, and Princes in the three main circles. At the intersection of pirates and vampires is "classic go-to villains". Vampires and Princes share "living in castles". Princes and pirates both have "stealing from peasants". The shared trait of all three is "wearing these shirts" with a picture of a fancy white shirt with big ruffles on the neck and sleeves.
Yes. At least keep some in your home where you know where it is. You never know when grandma might forget that she's already taken her pain meds, or a kid drinks too much of the wrong cough syrup, or (and I mean this in the least judgemental way possible) a friend hides their habit from you. Or literally any of those things (or a million other possibilities) happens to your next door neighbor.
