How do you like the Reolink setup? I'm looking for a sort of DIY home security camera setup where NOTHING goes to the cloud and it doesn't require a monthly fee. I don't need monitoring. Just an NVR with a hard drive that I can plug my cameras into, and I may or may not connect it to my wifi network.
We like it and the system is quite durable. As you can imagine, those cameras face some serious weather conditions and they haven’t had any major issues in 6-7 years. They have disconnected a few times, but otherwise have been great.
We are only using the cameras via WiFi. We don’t have any security or offline backups. The bears have given up on breaking into our cabin so we opted to go without an alarm. Ha.
