Yes, I use them all round the farm and winery. I settled on them mainly because of the feature so set a schedule to receive alerts. So I don’t get notifications all day long while we are out and about but receive notifications at night

I've been trying out of a reolink camera, no hub. I like it because you can set it to local only and you can feed the video to Frigate. I haven't tried locking the local access only with a firewall, but I know some smart devices don't work afterwards.
