Ubiquiti is one of those ones I’ve never fully figured out, I really like their products but logging in using the ui.com account makes it seem like there’s at least some aspect the relies on a cloud connection and therefore offers access from outside, maybe I just missed a setting to set everything to local login only, I dunno, don’t have my Ubiquiti system up and running anymore.
I use a cloud login so I can manage mine and friends network but you can do local only. Even without Internet I can login to my stuff still when I’m at home.
My landlord has those already. They’re attached to the fence and there’s no wire attached to it. I feel like most criminals are aware of these and aren’t fooled.
Well you need to attach a wire to it.
Most criminals are dumb, if they’re smart enough to care about cameras they’ll be deterred by a fake one too.
And of course a lot of cameras don’t even have wires.
I unplugged mine like a year ago but they’re still there physically as a deterrent, hopefully. Been wanting to try out something self-hosted.
This is a smart move
I installed the ubiquity one since I already had the udm pro.

You can still log in locally. The cloud version is so you can log in anywhere.

I went with a waterproof usb webcam fed through the wall and connected to a raspberry pi with motioneye
Frigate is great for self-hosted!
You can buy a fake camera with a blinking red led for like $1
