Have you ever looked into options for self hosting doorbell camera data, or the ones that store on the device with SD cards?

I did, due to the same concerns you listed. I found that self hosting would be detrimental to my server’s data drives and reduce their lifespan from the constant activity, and the SD card ones lacked some extremely nice to have features you get from cloud native mobile apps.

Curious if there are viable alternatives that have emerged since then, as it has been a few years since I researched this stuff.
