Most recommended cameras are from China unfortunately. While I would prefer to not support them economically, they seem fine security wise.

No Hikvision from Amazon, good shout as I was looking at some of them there.

Oh, that might prove a bit difficult on a Linux machine. I guess I’ll have to borrow my room mates computer :P

Thanks for the shout about Frigate’s documentation. There’s a lot of good information on there!

I’ve used Zotify. It downloads from Spotify directly in .ogg format. It fails a bit here and there, so requires you to watch that everything actually downloaded, but it beats any random YouTube quality video other programs would find otherwise.
