Huh… I bought from https://baofengtech.com/ not that long ago and didn’t have pandering boxes… they are located in South Dakota so I guess I can’t say I am super surprised, just disappointed.

In case you missed it from a few years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Did_That!

I bought one of their NVRs, so that currently stores recordings. I have yet to figure out how (or if) I want to integrate with my NAS or other (tbd) home automation.

I get push notifications on my phone and watch by having the Reolink app installed.

I went with this but PoE. Happy so far.

Have not used Frigate
