Which camera to buy

Hardware
1

Hello,

I would like to add a camera or two to my setup. The market is full, but most devices are going to be proprietary cloud-nonsense. Thus I am wondering if people here can make recommendations for current hardware cameras:

  1. that work off power-over-ethernet
  2. that connect using Wifi

I require motion detection, and obviously HA integration. Any clues?

Why would you use wifi and poe?

Sorry for being unclear, I am looking for both, PoE-cameras, but I also need one or two wifi cameras.

That is correct. What you are looking for are cameras with ONVIF support, they allow local control and management.

I suggest to give the :mag: (free) forum search a try as your question get’s repeatedly asked and answered :raised_hands:
