Hi Lemmy, what's a good IP camera with night vision and no vendor lock-in? - eviltoast

It would be amazing if it doesn’t disintegrate if it rains, too.

    I only have the indoor one, but Reolink is fine. Used it as a baby cam. No cloud bs, supports an rtsp stream. App has gone downhill, but due to rtsp I sort of don’t care.

      Similar product, different experience: I tried their doorbell and found it to be way underpowered once I turned on ONVIF. Huge, expanding lag between real world and camera feed. 20fps max is very oof too, even if you are going to use their protocol and software. And it doesn’t work with physical chime boxes, so you have to use their plug-in chime or botch a converter together yourself.

      Was really excited (trying to replace a nest doorbell) and then so, so disappointed once I got it. Their other cams might be fine but oof, the experience put me off.
