Good thing I have frigate nvr setup and don't need their app at all. This is super sad since these are my go to cameras. I will still buy them since I put them on a vlan and block all internet access. This is sad though ๐
Bad but expected given that they are Chinese based. I use several of their cameras but only after kepping them isolated from the Internet and segmented from the rest of my network. I only access the streams from my NAS which in turn access the camera streams from a dedicated NIC.
Based on your usage, how much storage is needed per day/week of footage? Working my way to this point but just getting started
There's a good amount of storage calcs online for this sort of thing.

Depends on compression/image quality/resolution x number of cameras. That said, I think my previous setup was using a 2TB for eight 1080p cameras. I believe that maintained about a month of footage with motion detection.
