    I use unifi cameras that save to a local nvr which is inaccessible off my network.

      Are there good local backup options? I have some Ubiquiti gear but their camera system seems too locked down

        Blue Iris will use pretty Much any cameras including Ubiquiti, has a mobile app for viewing and alerts, and has self hosted AI object recognition using code project. Its entirely off the grid if you want it to be. I know it just saves to folders that you could backup, but it will also do ftp, etc out of the box

        Hm. I’m not sure.

        I know they expose rtsp or rstp or whatever protocol, so maybe you could wire something up to record off the stream.

      Been eyeing this. I have older unifi internet equipment, and with a recent wifi radio purchase, I realize one seems to need their cloud key or gateway products now

        I think you only need the controller or phone app for setup or config changes. Though it is easier, in my opinion, to just run a controller. You can (at least last time I checked) still self host one if you like. If you’re just doing network config and monitoring, you don’t need much in terms of performance.
