I want to setup a camera monitoring for my house and some rooms. I need to bee able to view the cameras remotely and and also do recording if possible. I could find some camera brands like dahua cams but having briefly tested them they. Seem to rely on acwmtralized cloud and proprietary visualization software.

What are you recommendation? This is not a professional setup I would at max have 3 cameras.

I've personally been quite pleased with the combination of Frigate and some Amcrest POE cameras. Just make sure the cameras you are getting support RTSP though and you should be able to use them with Frigate.

Also make sure you block the cameras from reaching the public internet using your firewall, and only make them reachable from your Frigate host. Personally I use a VLAN with no internet access and enforce tagging at the switch level (i.e. don't trust the cameras to maintain their own VLAN) settings.

I made some reasearch for avalable hardawar near me and found this one Hikvison DS-2CD1053G0-I

I'll keep looking for ones that are more inside friendly.

Many thanks!
