Seems like this is a DIY forum, so maybe someone here DIY's their own "Ring" style front door camera.
I want the front door camera as a peephole camera and not something externally mounted 1. because Property Management might have a problem with the camera being fastened to their apartment building, and 2. someone might steal it. Also I suppose 3. because I don't want it obvious that passers-by are being recorded.
I want to install a peephole camera, which replaces the standard front door peephole of my apartment, and it needs to have motion sensing, and it's own power, so I'm not trying to wire-up a camera to a door that moves (opens and closes).
I want the video stored on my home-built Windows PC (via wireless connection), so I'll need some kind of software to manage the system.
What I'm trying to do here is avoid paying a monthly charge to some company, upload the video to their "cloud", and then have to continue to pay in order to have access to the video. I might also want to install a 2nd camera at the back of the apartment later on.
Note: What's driving this is not necessarily the residents that live in the complex, but rather non-residence come onto the property for nefarious and illegal activities, such as vehicle theft and vandalism. But also I've caught Property Management attempting to open my front door without any notice, no knock, and no compelling "story" about an emergency. I don't trust them for several conspiracy theory reasons, meaning it all makes perfect sense to me, but if I tried to explain it all, it would take a long time and I'd appear to be crazy.
