Im looking for a Wifi camera with the possibility to record on a server.

I buy a generic camera that when i make a nmap i get:

Nmap scan report for 192.168.0.172
Host is up (0.024s latency).
Not shown: 999 closed tcp ports (reset)
PORT     STATE SERVICE
6668/tcp open  irc
MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 (Shenzhen iComm Semiconductor)

And this camera have just “cloud storage”… and with “cloud” they mean “pay for it”. So, i want to know if there is a local server that maybe can get this camera, or if you can tell me for other camera that i can buy and i could connect to a home server (acting as cloudstorage)

    I use Synology security center on their NAS… works nicely with a large range of cameras.

      Here too, very solid and reliable. I believe this info is still accurate:

      By default, every Synology NAS device you purchase allows you to link up two different cameras to the device for free. For a small home setup, that might be ok, but if you need to add more cameras to the system, you need to purchase licenses and they run roughly $50 per extra camera.

      I have three cameras and so had to purchase an additional license. But it was just one-time, fairly painless.
