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)
The two terms I have learned to look for when searching for cameras are ONVIF and RTSP.
(Open network video interface and real time streaming protocol) https://bas-ip.com/articles/onvif-ip-camera-tech/#:~:text=Difference%20between%20ONVIF%20and%20RTSP&text=In%20the%20context%20of%20IP,used%20for%20transmitting%20video%20data.
I was able to find onvif cameras on amazon pretty cheap and they connect to homeassistant and do what I want without cloud connections.
