Hi lemmys.
My friend is looking for an indoor security camera. He’s only going to use it while he’s away, which doesn’t happen too often. Otherwise, the camera will be in a box.
Are there any good cameras, which also have an iOS app? Can’t be self-hosted as he’s not that technically savvy and overseas so I can’t do it myself lol
Thanks :)

I use a Blink camera. It will send me a notification when there’s motion, and I can look through the live camera at any time.
For a paid subscription, I can have it save clips when it detects motion, for later review.

Amcrest is king. Cheap, original, specialized, American based.

I made my own with a simple python script that sends me a telegram message when it sees movement. With gpt you don’t need to have coding experience to make simple things like this.

Any onvif cameras and blue iris. You can integrate it with AI and get person detected alerts and more.

I have a TP-Link Kasa indoor WiFi camera. This one in particular. It’s not a self-hosted camera that uses an NVR or anything. It’s accessible from the Kasa app on iOS (and Android). It requires a microSD card to store footage.
There is a cloud subscription option to recorded footage, but it’s not required. I am subscribed though, because if a camera is stolen/broken during a break-in or something, there goes all the recordings that one might need.

This isn’t really a c/asklemmy question. Please use a more appropriate comm next time.

Maybe so, but it’s not against the rules, and Lemmy can use more interaction in general, so I support it.
