Edit: ideally wifi cameras that I can solar power.
Looking to replace my Arlo cameras with something self-hostable. Arlo lets you store on a USB stick, but there’s no way to get out from under their cloud, which gets more expensive all the time.

Many selfhosted NVRs have been suggested. Personally ive tried:
iSpy
Frigate
Zoneminder
Shinobi
Ended up settling on zoneminder at this stage.
For cameras themselves i just want to point out the OpenIPC project - opensource firmware if youre technically inclined
Edit: I’m hesitant to recomment OpenIPC now since the main streamer is closed source. Thingino is fully open and developed by some of the devs who didn’t agree with the closed source portion
You can use pretty much any camera with ZoneMinder as long as it supports ONVIF or RTSP and has the right connectivity and power inputs for you. I did something similar with some cheap TP-link cameras with pretty good results. With motion activated recording, I have just shy of 12 month of recordings stored on a 500G SSD.
