    What brand do people recommend to switch family members off to? I self host my security but for other family that aren’t tech savvy at all which brands are good for privacy and intuitive to use?

      Reolink. The cameras record to a SD card and the app connects to the cameras over the local network. The app can connect to the cameras remotely through Reolink’s servers for convenience, but it’s not necessary to use their cloud services. I block mine from the internet in the firewall.

        Wife can even get to them when she’s out because she has tailscale connecting her phone to the home network via my headscale control node, not that she could tell you that
