Dear,
i’m very new to HA and never used it before. I’m planing to move in a couple months and have a few questions i was not able to find an answer for.
I’m living in Germany so i might not have access to all products i saw on some threads on here, but i hope i have a chance to figure that out.
I would like to explain my initial Plan first.
When i move to the new location, it will be stripped mostly, so i’m able to put in new wireing etc in the Home, i would like to wire everything up that can be wired.
Like WiFI Accesspoints with PoE, Smart Home stuff that supports PoE and of course PoE Cameras.
I would like to add PoE Cameras around the House outside and Inside. Like 6 or 7 maybe total.
- i would like them to just record on Motion and like 5 seconds prior and also send me a notification and show me the picture.
- If there has to be delay, so be it, - whats important for me is the recording not the live view 1:1
- I would also like to add a Doorbell with Camera and notification.
EDIT: I thought about something like this Reolink Kit including NVR and connecting that NVR into HA? Plus the Doorbell as well.
Camerakit + NVR and Doorbell
I have seen some Threads about using HA to access the NVR and grab the Footage and also use the Doorbell features.
Also i would like to setup Homeautomation stuff, Hue, Cleanrobot, Smart switches, Door and Motion sensors etc.
I don’t know how to set it up the best way to have this working together in the most “simple” way.
Like i thought to put it in like one place, like buy a Synology DS for example, have it Setup as a Cloud/NAS Solution + Installing HA on a VM and using Onvif for example for the Cameras?
Final goal should be, to have everything running WITHOUT a Cloud, but local and without any Subscription services.
I saw people always talk about the Surveilance App Synology has included, i also saw it just enables 2 Cameras, for more you have to buy subscription ? Is there a way to avoid it using an App in HA for example instead of going directly through Synology? Or isnt this possible?
Maybe the better route would be to build a NAS myself with OpenNAS and Host HA on there? Or do something totaly different with multiple solutions, like Pis and stuff?
I hope i was able to explain the issue i have well enough for you to understand.
Sorry my english is lacking.
Greetings from Germany and thanks in advance.
