[olug] Home monitoring options

[Justin Reiners - Reiners Cloud LLC]

I used to have the Nest Hello, a few wired cams for the garden, a few
cameras outside all nest, just recently got 5 gig internet installed and
needed a new firewall so updated my unifi 3 port to a proper Dream Machine
SE, added 10 gig network segment for my nas and graphics machine, removed
all my nest stuff and now have 11 POE Uinifi Protect cameras running.
Firewall says I'm using half the cameras it can handle.

Check ebay for deals on cameras.
