No but PoE and AP helps.

The point is, the anecdotal evidence that you mentioned has nothing to say about other points you are making.

Just because product X runs better in a use case with software Y, does not mean product X is bad.

I do not want to come across like a ubiquity fan boy, since i only use it very targeted privately but the stuff is good, it's supported and a plug and play solution without the cloud. Exactly what fits the bill for what it's asked for here.

It is run in operation by thousands of businesses. Does it have problems, sure, like every other brand.

Have run openWRT myself on one of the latest lite APs, was good. Have not noticed a significant difference in the usage between both.

First, I personally have not used it (but a security cam). But i have done some research.

Reolink Integration has Platinum Status on Home Assistant.

If you can set up Frigate then there seems to be 2 Way Voice Communication possible via the Home Assistant App.

There are a couple of Videos that show the process.

Reolink has at least one PoE Doorbell.

Switches, Security gear, nvr, central local management etc. not really something others can or do offer.

Ia it the best probably not but its still good well functioning equipment, for what it offers.

Just because something else works better, does not mean that it works not good.

Yes its expensive but also good gear mostly (never used the door bell myself).

PoE switch is not necessary, PoE injectors can be had for couple of bucks used.

I would go full IP. Solutions like Reolink or unifi exist that do not need the cloud.

Only challenge would be getting ethernet to the door.

But there are 2 wire to ethernet even with poe from unifi. https://eu.store.ui.com/eu/en/category/accessories-poe-power/products/uacc-retrofit-poe-2wire

Not sure if they work well, never uses them but i would try that.

EDIT: Typo

Yes, since with optimizations on OS level and with custom kernels you can pretty much tune it to any other result.

Tailscale controls the routing, thus the traffic. They control which keys get trusted. They most of the time distribute and develop the software.

It would be quite easy for them to start snooping on traffic, while on the internet anything basically is additional encrypted, that would not apply so broadly to the traffic that get sent via tailscale especially the self hosted crowd, a lot of that traffic would be http and unencrypted.

Just as much as Tailscale is self hosting.

So not at all?

Tailscale is just a Service. Not sure how you could even think calling Tailscale self hosting.

I would update. In a few months those will be published I’m sure.

I mean the patches themself are there and visible. The only thing that is not there is the explenation on what the vulnabilitie is/was.

Why should you? They got fixed?

Often security vulnabilities do not go public the moment the got discovered. There are often wirhheld to only the researcher and the team or only a few ppl of the team the vulnabilitie related to.

This is to give system admins time to update and patch their systems before more details and the research gets released.

Responsible disclosure is one of those procedures.
