Hi all, I am looking for recommendations for the best (based off your real world experience) wifi outdoor camera. Hard wired cameras are not an option for me unfortunately. Preferably no brand that requires an account or cloud connection.

    If you’re up for a bit of DIY, you can do it with a raspberry pi + something like Motion:

    I’ve looked for cameras that are easier to use and I can trust, and didn’t really find anything. You’re getting spied on by creepy tech bros in a startup that sells your video to the cops, or a random Chinese company that does who knows what with it, take your pick. Also maybe the whole world if you end up on shodan because the S in “IoT” stands for security.
