I once heard a consultant refer to it as “The Fog” because it’s like a cloud that you’re inside of. 🤮

I’m honestly not sure. I’m doing the same kind of research myself for a new home I’m building right now and happened to stumble across this guy’s youtube channel. He does a lot of great smart home stuff. I haven’t actually purchased one of them myself yet.
It’s a year old video, but it still is pretty relevant I think.
Local Control Video Doorbells - Reolink, UniFi, Amcrest, Hikvision, Dahua. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XCu6L0xn4Y&t=904s
If you’d rather read than watch the video, he has a nice companion blog. https://www.thesmarthomehookup.com/local-control-video-doorbells-reolink-unifi-amcrest-hikvision-dahua/
It works great with my self-hosted NextCloud!
Depending on your budget and location, a whole house backup generator can be relatively inexpensive. My family lives in a very rural area in the central US, so we have a backup whole house generator that runs on propane. I chose propane because those motors seem to have less maintenance, plus we have propane for the grill, etc, already on site.
I have a Nextcloud server that I setup (before Immich was a thing. I’m also running it now, but not using it for photo backup). I have accounts for my immediate family and all of our phones are setup to use the Instant Upload feature to back up photos.
You can get someone knowledgeable like an electrician to just change the outlet itself to whatever is best.
“220 V” is the “nominal” voltage. All voltages fluctuate depending on all sorts of factors, but should stay within a certain range of nominal. In the USA most utilities follow the ANSI C84 Voltage standard. 220 V is what electricians refer to it as. Your utility probably calls it “240 V”.
Do you guys have a docker image or something that I could put on my homelab server?
What I wish existed was a self-hosted version of OurGroceries.
If you want self hosted, I’d second all the Grocy comments. I don’t use it because it isn’t simple enough for my family, but I did like it.
