Why do you think they’re not good?
I also have a domain with them and never had any issues. Although I only use it for a reverse proxy so not much to go wrong there.


I’ve been looking into Unifi cameras and, someone correct me if I’m wrong, from my understanding they can work completely offline without an account or app. It can all be configured through the browser.
They’re pricey, though. And you’d also need the UNVR for storage and Unifi Protect.
