  Those weren't just allegations, they literally got fined $450k for security breach.

  Same, had my NVR system with 6 PoE 4K cameras, for over 5 years now and they work great.

  They don't have any WiFi doorbells anymore (at least stateside). All POE requiring ethernet, which a lot of residents don't have. The G4 is still listed on their website but hasn't been in stock in months.

  ADT is stupidly expensive. There are at least a dozen companies in your area connecting to the same monitoring center and 1/4 of the price.

  In what way? Anyone who is serious about home security should use wired cameras and PoE is much easier than running power separately.

  +1 found a cheap one on eBay that had a broken metal mounting bracket. Reached out to Uniquiti and had a replacement bracket the very next week for no charge. Would absolutely recommend their products to everyone, but it’s more involved than some other options.

  Now you just need to install (Home Assistant) and then grab the add-ons frigate and double take. Then you have full facial and object recognition along with custom trailered notifications and alerts.

  Harbor Freight sells wifi 1080p doorbells what dont require subscriptions, around $70 last time I looked. They also sell wifi security cams with sound and intercom

  Look into home assistant. You can make your own local smart hole server for all your smart home needs in one place. You need to be pretty tech savvy though to make one.

  Yeah if you can isolate them you're in good shape. Odds are though the app they come with requires the connection out to xyz server. If they have an internal RTSP stream and you can blackhole their connectivity otherwise they're great.

  The hardest part is just running the wire(s). All you need for hardware to enable it is a little 4-port PoE network switch that you can get for $30, then you just plug the one wire per camera into that and its plug-and-play essentially

  I’ve never dealt with PoE because it seems like a hassle to set up for my modest needs… but it might be worth considering that when militarized law enforcement (or whatever ICE is) does a home invasion, they (allegedly) deploy some kinda WiFi jamming to blind most video doorbells & security cameras. There’s nothing to stop private-sector criminals from using the same technology. Perhaps PoE has an advantage there.

  >Im so tired of subscriptions So stop buying this shit? Companies have proven, over and over and over again, that all these "smart" devices will either be ewaste, transition to a subscription, hoover up all your data to sell off, start shoving ads down your throat, or all of the above. If people keep buying these things, I dont feel bad for them anymore.

  A doorbell cam was worth it for me the one time a $4.500 laptop got “delivered and signed for by:”. When in reality the driver signed it and the package was already empty when I finally got it. Easiest police report I’ve ever done.

  Yeah, and local, user/password authenticated version is part of the ONVIF standard. What they did was have a direct stream to cloud and then provide an endpoint from cloud to anyone with the URL. TBF security of that depends on length of the url, but at least user+pwd auth should still be on that too. Oh and they were claiming "local-only" the whole time.

  I bought mine before it was subscription based. Worked great, loved it. As soon as google got involved. They slapped a subscription on it and bricked non subscribers. Really should be illegal what they did.

  You’re thinking about Ethernet over power I think? Power over Ethernet isn’t any of the things you’re describing and you still need to drill holes for that

  The G5 bullet is $120, I don't really consider that "extremely expensive". That said, Ubiquiti doesn't charge licensing fees so the prices of their equipment is actually great.

  There were some cheaper options, but not all of them qualified for the home insurance subsidy. And I’m in an area that regulates alarm companies that can actually call 911 for you (which is what the insurance discount required) as prevention against false alarms we wasting time - I even need a special permit on my end to have the alarm system which the city can revoke if it’s going off all the time. l do not think every possible option is available here. Some of the cheaper companies are limited to calling you for an alarm, but not police or fire, under licensing requirements locally. But the main thing was: I wanted the Nest smart doorbells and cameras anyway. This was a way to get to those ends cheaply. You have a good point though - what’s available changes region to region. Everyone may have different options. My experience as an ADT customer is: ADT usually sucks and the price is hard to justify with modern alternatives. It works for me because it bundles the Nest subscription, and the insurance discount covers 75% or so. But also, ADT seems to know all this and be slowly changing into a competitor to the upstarts. Over the last few years things have been changing into BYO equipment, self install and online self service, etc. My interactions with them over the past year have been markedly better, the app is reliable lately, the call center people seem to know what they are doing with the new systems. If I only thought about the last year, I’d actually say they handled some things really well for me.

  Sorry you’re having that issue, I haven’t had any issues. They may be owned by Amazon but I don’t need a subscription to use their stuff and that’s a win for me.

  The cameras can connect wirelessly to a hub which you keep in your house. The data is stored locally on that hub.

  Currently using a Scrypted/HA setup. It's good, but I feel like Unifi is just a cleaner experience where the hardware just works. There's a premium over my current setup but I think it's worth it for the ease of use.

  The POE cameras are great with their NVR. The battery powered wi-fi cameras, not so much.

  That’s why I never bought one. Being reliant on a subscription and having internet and forced updates not in my best interest. Not paying to be spied on and extorted. I have a setup where if some random noise goes off I get a notification.. free and good enough since my dog passed away cause it’s always quiet there.

  If you're a DIY sort you might look into options that can be flashed with new firmware eg Thingino, though it's not entirely trivial for many.

  I don't think you need a subscription if it's just acting like a real-time camera without AI features. We have a Nest doorbell that's reusing old wiring with an updated transformer and allows us to see/interact with people at the door from wherever we are - sometimes a state away. With 30 day event history, facial recognition, hookup to our legacy doorbell chime, etc. It's been fine, but yeah, gotta pay for that convenience and service level.

  Yeah can confirm it’s great! Had to tinker a bit by replacing the nvr with a quieter fan and a beefy HDD but I like that I can store almost 2 months of 4k recorded video and audio for no subscription.
