Avoid Amazon Blink stuff if you do this. I set some up for someone and they're a total scam. They advertise a local only mode that doesn't require a subscription, but it's crippled and makes the cameras nearly unusable. They disable thumbnails and bulk deletion of video.

Worst of all, they'll stealthily enable a "trial" subscription for 3 months when you set them up in local mode, so they seem ok until they get crippled with demands for a subscription fee.




Oh, certainly. If the "user manual" has anything but Chinese characters and absolutely broken Engrish, run screaming.

You want something yumcha like https://www.alptopsecurity.com/20.html
