November 26, 20214 yr Hi - not sure where to post this so apologies if it needs to be moved. I have started to look into getting a few security cameras outside and would like to be able to use my Unraid server to store the videos versus a paid cloud solution. I am looking for some advice on a few things.. --I have read that there could be issues with security cameras always keeping the dives spinning/writing. I have a spare 120gb ssd- could I just put this in and have the cameras write to it? I do not care much about having the data backed up. --what software systems are recommended ? I have read on others setting up 'blue iris' as a windows VM. Are there other recommendations on the best software solution compatible with Unraid? -and finally- not very unraid specific, but are there security camera recommendations that would be compatible with the unraid hardware solution ? I assume cameras such as Ring have propriety solution and you are stuck with the cloud. thanks!
November 27, 20214 yr I'm no expert, but I did watch some videos from SpaceinvaderOne that addressed all three of your questions. May be a good place to start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Alvt8nkdlqg
November 27, 20214 yr Author thanks for the link - it is quite informative. A bit out of date (I see blue Iris is available now via docker). But still helpful- thanks
November 29, 20214 yr Yeah, from 2019. Damn technology - Keeps on getting updated. Figured it would give you a place to start. Glad to help.
