Briefly; Eufy has had a lot of problems including "encrypted" streams not really being encrypted (https://www.channelnews.com.au/eufys-chinese-owners-finally-admit-their-security-cameras-were-a-security-risk/) as well as that they are Chinese owned and manufactured. Ubiquiti is US owned and Taiwanese manufactured; and further I use a complete Ubiquiti networking stack (gateway, switching, wifi) so it was a great fit.

I am asking you dad-to-dad to dial down the liberal use of "fuck" in your podcasts so I can listen to you on family road trips in the car. You may also find that such discipline benefits the tender ears in your own home as they grow.

I use and strongly recommend Ubiquiti as a self-hosted on-prem video doorbell (and more generally, surveillance) system. PoE or WiFi. https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/cameras-doorbells

Obviously yes, we are people of culture

Thanks for helping reveal unspoken predicates and assumptions on my part. To be clear, I already had a self-custody lightning node and have for many years. This can be hosted at home and exposed on clearnet, run on Tor, protected by VPN, Cloudflare tunnel, or other means. LND is easier to find compatible LNURL-pay software. Liquidity costs (for inbound channel) can be pretty low. Alternatively, you can open outbound only (free), spend sats as you would normally, and anything you spend becomes inbound liquidity to your node. If you can run LND or Core Lightning, you can surely also run the LNURL-pay software, so no extra costs or overhead there. You will need a domain which runs you $10-$50 / year. I use porkbun.com
