Ring is partnering with Flock so I’m in the process of replacing my Ring cameras.
Here’s the legwork I did, feel free to add to this:
Blink is out because they’re also Amazon and if Ring is partnering with Flock, it’s only a matter of time.
TP Link Tapo - Four 4K cameras w/ local network storage. $629.95. “5BLACKFRIDAY” code drops it to under $600.
Eufy - Four 3K cameras w/ Network storage. $749.95. They have a more advanced camera that has a fixed 4K but only a 2K pan/tilt and that setup with local network storage is over $1,000.
Arlo - $18/mo. subscription. No thank you.
Wyze - No network storage, SD cards only.
Aosu is notably cheaper ($429.99 for 4 cameras + network storage), but is only a 2K camera, and in a security situation, I can’t imagine that being a good idea. 😟 The price is GREAT though, so I guess if all your footage is close up, it would work well. If you need to read a license plate at distance? Er, em…
That’s pretty slick too! Only drawback I see there is that the home hub is SD card based and maxxes out at 1 TB and other systems have 2.5" drive bays or NVME slots.
But hey, anything is better than Flock adjacent! 😉

I’m really happy with Reolink Trackmix cams.
