Why did we accept that security cameras need monthly fees to work properly?
Buy Axis cameras on eBay. Set up Frigate, which is free NVR software. Done and done. You'll pay a lot more for the cameras, but you'll pay way less in the long run.

Almost nothing with modern semiconductors in it really counts as BIFL. It's just not realistic with how tech advances and degrades over time. That said, if money is no object, you can BIFL (buy it for.. longer). Get yourself some AXIS Q-series PTZ units for 3k a pop, wire your house for ethernet if it isn't already, and get yourself a good PoE switch. Home run all that to a small rack and hook up a PC with 10-20tb storage on deck (more if you want 24/7 recording and not just motion detection) and some kind of surveillance software (is blue iris still a thing?). Keep the pc from reaching the internet so windows update doesn't take out your cameras while you're being burglarized.
