Please share: I'm looking for recommendations for a remote video home monitoring setup. My Yorkie is getting older and I would feel better if I could check on her from my phone and laptop.

I know this space is a shitshow so I'm looking for recommendations that are the most privacy protecting and secure with minimal setup and maintenance.

I have had some success with https://shinobi.video/ - it's basically a frontend for ffmpeg which can talk directly to off the shelf IP cameras on the local network and provide a web interface and an app to view the feeds. I'm using TP-link cameras for it, which I setup using the manufacturer's app, but then firewalled the cameras off from the internet so they're not sending anything to the cloud. Works reasonably well, even if it was a bit fiddly to setup at first 😊
