PoE is awesome. My custom home security system is all CCTV PoE with a gstreamer backend running on four-core fanless linux box. Way to go. Complete control. No batteries, no wares spying on me, no personal data getting scraped by big guys. (Cloud connectivity sucks because I have segmented mp4s and jogging through them hurts but I only care for events after they happen, not while they happen.)

Do you upload events to a remote location? How is your storage box secured against theft? That’s my biggest concern for doing local cctv- if you are robbed, they’ll grab anything that looks of value.

yes that is something you need to decide for yourself i'm ok with it. i push my segments up to an s3 bucket but yes if they find the box before the rsync i lose. oh well. there's much more valuable stuff in the house they'll probably go for first. i suspect junkies aren't that smart.
