I have Wyze and eufy wifi cameras that supposedly have end to end encryption (Anker got busted for unencrypted streams but now says it’s “largely fixed”). Cost was less than a quarter of the Hue camera.
But the bandwidth reduction needed to send footage through the cloud makes these wifi cameras less attractive to me. The time I caught a crime in progress on the periphery, the compression artifacts were much more of a problem than camera quality.
I’m starting to think about moving to an old school wired, non-internet local storage system. Hopefully they have started incorporating decent AI person detection, which is the standout feature of some wifi cameras.
