I'm looking for security cameras that will integrate with my home server and nas. I want ones that record to my nas without some BS subscription service, and ideally run FOSS server logic I can deploy on my server. I've got one camera now that sorta does what I want, except the software isn't FOSS and I've been unable to add the features that are missing.

My ideal requirements are:

  • Good camera quality
  • Direct powered (no battery)
  • Connects via wifi to my network
  • Records to remote nas (no cloud "subscription" requirement)
  • Highly configurable via FOSS software
  • Monitoring software runs on server with local web access
  • QOL features like 2-way audio, audio recording, motion sensing, night vision, etc.

Does anyone have suggestions that meat what I'm looking for or close?

I'm not a big expert so I'm probably just ignorant, but why do you want to remove the IR filters? Also I was planning on using esp32 but inside only, and keep them naked. Does it overheat in this condition?

Night vision. You can remove the ir filter and then buy or make an infared lightbar and get good night vision that way.

They won't overheat if you don't put them in an enclosure or case but this makes them more suseptible to damage. I bet a small pc fan blowing through a custom made 3d printed or wood box would be enough to offset it.
