Best mesh wifi system recommendations
Another Unifi vote here. Just setup a U7 Dream Router and connected it to a U7 Outdoor AP and now the important parts of my big property all have good wifi. Very easy.

Best mesh wifi system recommendations
This was the solution in my house. After 2 or 3 mesh attempts I wired in two Unifi access points. Ended all the WiFi dead zone stupidity.

Why did we accept that security cameras need monthly fees to work properly?
look 1) you get crap or 2) get decent shit with a subscription for cheap (but pay monthly) or 3) get somethign decent & pay the premium. seen unifi recommended in the thread and if their cameras are half as good as their switches i'd stick to em for sure.

Why did we accept that security cameras need monthly fees to work properly?
You can use other cameras, but saving $100 wouldn’t make a big difference if you take dreammachine or nvr cost, and professional installation (running cable, possibly drywall guys, configuring your setup, etc) unless that’s something you can do yourself. I spent over 4k upgrading to unifi ecosystem (cameras, dream machine, switches, APs) and did all the work myself. If I would be installing that to a client would be north of 10k

Why did we accept that security cameras need monthly fees to work properly?
I like my unifi cameras. They feed to the controller on my local network which I then back up to my NAS and an extra cloud storage account that I have from one of those family deals. I can still access my cameras' saved and live footage from half the world away (without using the cloud backup) without an extra subscription or cost.

Why did we accept that security cameras need monthly fees to work properly?
I started out with Hikvision cameras and NVR. Once I switched over to Unifi network gear it made sense to start using their cameras too. It's not cheap but so much better than the camera systems people buy at the local big box store. I still have a few of the Hikvision cameras and they're great but the UI for their app is painful after getting used to Unifi.

Why did we accept that security cameras need monthly fees to work properly?
Unifi ecosystem is amazing. Everything just works. I have a front camera and a full stack mesh network. It's worth the cost. The amount of money you'll save over a few years easily makes self hosting nice. Plus Unifi allows cloud backups if you need to export. I have my videos export to one of my Google drive accounts.

Why did we accept that security cameras need monthly fees to work properly?
This is why I use unifi. I already have a dream machine pro so buying and setting up cameras ended up being very turn key. I popped a hard drive into the dream machine and plugged in the cameras. Now it records and I can access them anywhere.

Why did we accept that security cameras need monthly fees to work properly?
I'm doing the same thing and I can access my home network from the Unifi Protect app to view the cameras. So far it works really well although I think the cameras are a bit expensive.

Why did we accept that security cameras need monthly fees to work properly?
Frigate definitely works too. There is less maintenance and upkeep on a unifi nvr though. And way better mobile app offering. That's ultimately why i switched over. Unfortunately it was right before they opened the protocols to use other ip cameras instead of just unifi cameras. I had just switched out 7 reolink cameras that also worked great. Unifi protect integrates pretty great in home assistant now as well. When i got my nvr, they were also giving away a g4 pro bullet with it. Not sure if they still have deals like that.
