Helping a friend set up security cameras in a large house. We can only run Cat 6 to two locations, but the rest of the house has spray insulation, so drilling isn’t an option. There are several floodlights around the house where we could tap into power for cameras like Ring Floodlight or something similar.
We are looking to install around ten cameras in total and want a mix of wired and wireless options with good motion detection and reliable alerts. Any recommendations for a solid security camera system that would work well in this setup?

Yes, their servers are based outside the US, but if you avoid using P2P, it won’t really matter. You can set up port forwarding with a strong password or use a VPN to access the cameras securely.

If P2P is disabled, will motion alerts still work? How reliable is the motion detection?
Yes, you can set up motion alerts via email using SMTP. The motion detection works well, but it doesn’t have advanced AI features. If you need person or vehicle detection, you might need a more expensive system.
