In case you missed it from a few years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Did_That!

I bought one of their NVRs, so that currently stores recordings. I have yet to figure out how (or if) I want to integrate with my NAS or other (tbd) home automation.

I get push notifications on my phone and watch by having the Reolink app installed.

I went with this but PoE. Happy so far.

Have not used Frigate

This happened to me several years ago on a similarly old account. I don’t think it was actually compromised, and I had no way to recover it as I had never set an email.
