Trying to set up CCTV Cameras

Hi there!

I‘m running a somewhat developed home server setup and add more services every month.

But this thing eludes me:

I have 2 IP cameras for my pet room (I have a couple bearded dragons in terrariums).

The cameras are fenton 351.150

I can stream many different formats to home assistant or the browser. I also tried multiple apps like viseron (which is pretty cool) and agentdvr from ispy (which always makes the hair on my neck stand up since it looks like it was cobbled together).

But what doesnt work is controlling the camera, mostly. I believe agentdvr could do that but I‘m really unhappy about that app. Also, it pushes monetization very hard albeit seeming to be open source.

I also found this: https://medevel.com/10-cctv-open-source-solutions/

Does anyone have experience with a non-jank and non-pushy cctv solution that lets me control the cameras instead of just streaming?

Have a good one!
