can these be configured to stream TO a remote frigate server?
Example: I’d like to install one at my parent’s house, connect it to my parent’s wifi, but have it stream to frigate, that’s hosted on my server in another city?
i had frigate running locally and could integrate them. That said i grabbed the stream from the local network. I guess you would need some sort of local pi to forward the streams. But that is well above my pay grade ^^ sorry
It might not be original quality, but this should be fairly straightforward with a tunnel or VPN connection to your parent’s house. You’d also lose quality in having a WiFi camera instead of wired.
Reolink. Cheap, good enough quality, great HA integration, no internet connection needed.
+1 they are completely local, cheap and have a tight integration with home assistant, I have 5 of their cameras.

Yeah, I’ve already heard about such a solution, where I’d need a Pi that acts as the streaming client, which then should work with any camera.
apparently it’s possible without a relay look here

Reolink cameras are twice the price of the Tapo ones in my area…
And probably four times the quality. If I could go back in time and choose Reolink for every camera I have, I would. In a heartbeat.
I’m pretty happy with the 2K footage on mine.
