Hi, I am looking for libre solutions to buy for my home surveillance system.
I know that there are open source NVRs, but are there open source WiFi cameras? Cabled cameras just transmit an electrical signal so I don’t care about them.
Someone gifted me a Tapo C-210 but I don’t like the fact that it transmits videos to TpLink’s servers. I just want my self-hosted solution.
Thank you.


Have a look at Open IPC and Yi-hack (link is to one specific family of their cameras, but there are hacks available for other non-allwinmer models too).
I believe you can also hook up a raspberry pi (with a camera module) to Motion Eye wirelessly.
The easiest thing for security (though not necessarily own source) would be to find a WiFi cam that offers offline or local access and confining it to it’s own subnet that doesn’t have access to the internet. I think you can do this with reolinks, but double check.
