Most “smart” security setups still push your footage to the cloud and lock useful features behind subscriptions.

In my latest guide, I walk through how to build a total-privacy, local AI camera system for your living room, with:

• Reolink 4K PoE cameras + NVR for high-res, local-only recording

• Synology DiskStation DS925+ as a private NVR and storage hub

• Local AI analytics for person/vehicle detection (no cloud needed)

• Smart automations for lights, climate and media (Hue, Nest, Echo Show, Kasa, Aqara)

You get:
– Advanced security and context-aware behaviour

– Zero monthly fees

– No sensitive video leaving your home network

If you care about security and privacy, this is a strong alternative to cloud-only systems.
