I want to setup a camera monitoring for my house and some rooms. I need to bee able to view the cameras remotely and and also do recording if possible. I could find some camera brands like dahua cams but having briefly tested them they. Seem to rely on acwmtralized cloud and proprietary visualization software.
What are you recommendation? This is not a professional setup I would at max have 3 cameras.

Wifi cams can be jammed. Lorex wired cameras and zoneminder with a tailscale VPN setup.

If you don’t trust tailscale you’ll have to get some sort of ddns for wireguard and punch through your router

Let me know if you want further context.
I second the idea of a VPN instead of directly exposing devices or software to the internet. Requires more work and learning but it’s more secure. I would argue that well-known VPNs are more scrutinized and pentested than any camera software ever.
I second Zoneminder, used it at a job way back in the day and it was solid.
