Thank you Blaze. I'm having problems with my app right now so apologies if I don't reply, hopefully I will be able to see updates on my own post.

Hi, looking for current suggestions for home CCTV please.

It's been a while since I looked into it (and never actually proceeded to buying, so not had that experience). Ones I have used were for an employer and not administered by me.

One thing I know I don't want is some cheap dodgy thing that has a mandatory connection to a suspicious Chinese IP address only website they couldn't even be bothered to register a domain for.

Probably goes without saying here any Google or Amazon type kit will be unacceptable but ideally it will be truly closed circuit. No online services, local VLAN or VPN access only. I can create a VM for management and storage.

It will be externally facing the street with the intention of capturing evidence of a certain individual causing issues. It would be a range of 20-40 meters from an upstairs room, so no doorbell type cameras. If I do go ahead it will be with the approval of local law enforcement.

Any suggestions very much appreciated, as well as any questions I'm not familiar enough to know to ask. Thank you.

I want to shop online privately without my purchases being used to track me.

They also announced that their servers are moving outside out of Switzerland due to concerns with the new surveillance proposals.

Does anybody else find it weird that whenever you have a voice over, be it satnav, Bluetooth speakers, promotional videos (of European companies!), etc. they almost always have American accents? Even before the whole buy European movement took off I found this weird, especially since British or Irish accents are way nicer to listen to in my opinion.

That is also easy and convenient to use.
