Hi, anyone have any good self hosted solution for a doorbell camera? What I need is to have the option to look at who is at the door and be able to actuate a lock (relay operated). I have a cheap Chinese brand solution, but it uses an unknown cloud solution and is very unreliable. A phone app would be fine, but if there’s a standalone tablet, that’s even better.

    Downside is that it won’t work if my internet or power is out

    If it doesn’t work when your internet is out, then it’s not local.

      Poor wording on my part.

      It still functions, but I don’t get push notification when it detects motion or someone rings the bell while I’m out. I will see the recording once I’m on my local network again.
