  • Oh! Interesting! The maintainer doesn’t have Reolink in their recommendations. (Although… the affiliate link stuff kinda muddies the water…)

    I recommend Dahua, Hikvision, and Amcrest in that order.

    Here are some of the cameras I recommend:

    • Loryta(Dahua) IPC-T549M-ALED-S3 (affiliate link)
    • Loryta(Dahua) IPC-T54IR-AS (affiliate link)
    • Amcrest IP5M-T1179EW-AI-V3 (affiliate link)
    • HIKVISION DS-2CD2387G2P-LSU/SL ColorVu 8MP Panoramic Turret IP Camera (affiliate link)

    There is a suggested Reolink setup mentioned though: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/camera_specific/#reolink-cameras

    Reolink has many different camera models with inconsistently supported features and behavior.

    Also, dang.

    WiFi cameras are not recommended as their streams are less reliable and cause connection loss and/or lost video data, especially when more than a few WiFi cameras will be used at the same time.

    Are most folks using wired cameras? 😬 That seems non-trivial to wire up cameras all over…
