I think solely focusing on usability for “power-users” single page makes sense. Nevertheless, I think web design seems to prefer many pages though I don’t know if that’s driven by user-friendliness or driving up the “click-through” rate.

I don’t know if you’re into this, but this would be a perfect project to learn a new language or framework.

Do you mean RTSP? Camera: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086L8TWM5?psc=1

Also use Motion with post-Motion capture alerts sent via XMPP. Got the family on XMPP so it works out.

Not answering your question, BUT I went with POE IP camera in the end. They one I got form Amazon has an IR blaster and filter so it can see in black and white at night. No good Open-source HW options for that as far as I’m aware. Access via an RTSP on VLC or MPV. I use motion to access web streams and motion detection

Cool. Though I like to use vifm with the tree command.

At the end of the day, just move providers. Can’t beat the hydra!

After that I agree with the other responses on here. With price being a wash, I prefer larger drives for less hands-on replacement and lower power usage.

Price is king for me! I optimize for lowest price per TB with good quality drives.
