Suggestions for IP Cameras with Sound and Movement tracking.

[MormonBoy]

I am wanting to set up a 'security' camera locally as a baby monitor. I want to be able to review footage and have notifications if there is movement or sound to know if the baby is awake.

I cannot seem to find any solutions to this in the community and am wondering whether solutions exist.

Does anyone have advice on how I would set up something like this, what sort of camera would be best, and what software is ideal for delivering notifications and reviewing footage/checking feed when out of the house while babysat.

Many thanks

Zoneminder on CORE and Frigate from TrueCharts on SCALE (although I'm not confident that app is really ready for use at this time... I use the Add-On in my Home Assistent box for that instead).

Do you have any recommendations for the specific cameras, I haven't really used anything like this before

For inexpensive IP cameras that do a great job, I'd suggest taking a look at Amcrest.
They are available via Amazon here.

Can you please elaborate On not ready.

Is it worth trying in Core under a VM?

Time has passed... but Frigate is still considered as an incubator app on SCALE, although I would recommend that as a good option to use if you can get it to run.

Deepstack and AgentDVR are considered stable now and can be a good combo to run instead of Frigate.

Depending on what you're trying to prove, a VM may not be much of an indicator on how things would eventually work, particularly on performance. Zoneminder is kind of old now.
