I don't have yet any preferences. Cheap, easy to set up, secure. What do you use and can recommend?

I use Amcrest PoE dome cameras with frigate. Quality and price are excellent. My only complaints would be the dome cameras get dirty fast and at night the IR light from inside reflects off of the dirt and makes them useless. Frigate also seems pretty bad at detecting things in night vision mode. And yes, I’ve already made the recommended adjustments in my frigate config.

Are you using an Amcrest IP4M-1041B, can you have a look at this? https://lemmy.world/post/16883143. Thank you.
