CCTV and NVR Hosting on VPS - Self-Hosted Surveillance
Cloud-based security cameras (Ring, Nest, Arlo) store your footage on corporate servers accessible to law enforcement via subpoenas and potentially to employees. Self-hosted NVR (network video recorder) software on a VPS gives you private, encrypted surveillance storage that only you access. Frigate, ZoneMinder, and Shinobi are open-source NVR platforms that run on VPS.
