Recommendations for Porch Light IP Cameras?

[Ecksters]

My home was built in the early 90s, so my wiring is always about as bad as I could possibly have for home automation, no C-wire for thermostat, no Neutrals for light switches, etc.

Because of this, I figure a porch light camera is probably going to be easier to install than a doorbell cam.

I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for Wifi IP cameras that work with Hubitat and ideally:

• Have infrared night vision
• Record locally to an SD card or something for easy viewing history, autowiping older content
• Can adjust the camera to focus on the porch
• Have 2 way communication
• Let you use whatever bulb, but give some smart control over the bulb
• No cloud service

Anyone know of an option that meets all or most of the above criteria? Should I just go with a doorbell solution?

There is no camera officially working with HE. There's an unofficial Rings integration with HE. You can read it here.

[WITHDRAWN] Unofficial Ring Integration

Notice!!! First and foremost I need to warn any who venture to use this integration. This integration is provided for fun without hope of warranty or safety or stable or permanent use. Ring are not official partners with Hubitat or myself and all of the interactions between the Hubitat hub and Ring's cloud servers in this integration are via the private API calls that Ring does not publish or give permission to use for this purpose. I wrote this integration for fun and I do not trust it with m…

There's also this Unifi

Ubiquiti Unifi Protect cameras

Anyone get anything integrated with Hubitat for these? I bought a Synology NAS specifically because of the Surveillance Station software. NOWHERE in the description does it say I need to buy licenses for additional cameras. $50 per camera. Screw those guys. I just picked up a Unifi Cloud Key Gen2 Pro which has a 1TB hard drive and an integrated NVR. Yes, you have to use their cameras. Since I needed new cameras anyway, the cost difference was a wash and the Unifi Protect NVR interface is…

The easy way is just use the Ring 2 doorbell.. I think you might even be able to attach a solar charger as well. As far as HE integration - I'm just using a virtual switch (with auto-off) that Alexa sets when the ring button is pushed. I then trigger an Aeotec Siren 6 doorbell sound. I have the wired Ring Pro though.

Edit: The downside is the integration is not as good as other solutions possibly.
