External CCTV camera recommendations

Post by Scones »

I'm looking to add my first CCTV camera to my Domoticz system and I'm looking for recommendations.

Looking at the WIKI it looks like Domoticz just takes snapshots when triggered. I was hoping to record the camera output.
Is it possible to have a CCTV camera that stores the output somewhere (I have an owncloud Rpi3 with a 2TB external HDD) but triggers Domoticz on sound / motion detection?

Other stuff like mobile phone notifications and 2-way comms would be nice but not essential. I already have Domoticz -> iPhone notifcations set up anyway, so could probably sort that myself.

I live in the UK, so a UK supplier would also be nice.

I can't say about cameras, but for software, go for zoneminder, and zmNinja (zoneminder client) on smartphone and PC.

Good call for ZoneMinder. I'm going to be looking at that, possibly putting in on my OnCloud, but triggering Domoticz.
