Oh you don’t say its sketchy as fuck with the Americans running around smashing up the place? Not wanting to be caught in the crossfire?

Alas, my building has an intercom system. I’d just use a webcam + frigate + esp8266 button + make home assistant make a dingdong noise and take a picture

Because of the propensity for 3rd parties stealing my data or just going out of business leaving me with no product, I went down the route of homeassistant + zigbee buttons and door/motion sensors with cheap internet-isolated tapo cameras + frigate nvr to capture the footage

Also a Google Coral TPU to process the footage for activity.

This is the nerd route, but it also can’t be taken away from me. Also no subscriptions and cheaper initial purchase price.

Though the HA hobby eats your wallet.
