I currently have a couple of (amazon) Blink cameras. I would like similar cameras but that are self hosted. Yes these basically are however the HW-Sync module sucks its slow. I’ve tried other chinese brands which are slower. I was about to buy the Eufy Homebase setup it seemed perfect easy low power cameras. However their “self hosted” solution has issues working with out internet.
It seems like there should be a selfhosted Blink camera replacement. I like the form factor of the blink cameras. The eufy were nice because they had solar options.
Anyone have any experience here? I’d love to use POE but Im too old and busy to run cable through my new house now.
Edit: When I say wireless I mean battery operated as well. Sorry, not just wifi.
I don’t know anything about Blink, but for self hosted camera stuff, Frigate is wonderful.
What wireless cameras are you using. I too love frigate.
I have 2 Amcrest cameras. One PoE that’s super solid, and an inexpensive WiFi camera. I ended up buying another wifi access point just for the camera, and ever since it has been very solid. More a symptom of my house having tons of IoT devices than a problem with the camera, really.
