I didn't really know where to put this question and this seemed like the closest spot.
Any recommendations on home surveillance set-ups? I don't really want a system like ring, vivit, simplisafe, etc., nor do I want something that relies on the cloud/internet. However, I am looking at a self-contained setup that could connect to the internet if I wanted it to but stores data locally.
Something like this:

Pre-packaged surveillance stuff freaks me out a little as I worry about embedded software that let's people connect to my system without me knowing about it. I say that but yet I have a house full of Amazon Echo's. I guess I've made my peace with people hearing what I say but people watching me gives me pause in a whole other way.
What do you guys have and/or recommend?
