The Best Subscription-Free Home Security Cameras I’ve Tried
The Best Subscription-Free Home Security Cameras I’ve Tried
我测试过的最佳免订阅家庭安防摄像头
In the age of state surveillance and Big Tech trampling our data privacy rights, there are plenty of reasons to keep your security camera footage local. Whether you want to save money or ensure your video doesn’t end up in the hands of persons (or AI) unknown, subscription-free security cameras are the way to go. 在国家监控和大型科技公司践踏我们数据隐私权的时代，将安防摄像头的录像保存在本地有充分的理由。无论你是想省钱，还是为了确保视频不会落入不明人士（或人工智能）手中，免订阅的安防摄像头都是最佳选择。
That used to come at a compromise on the best features to keep your recordings local. But no longer. I’ve been testing security cameras for a decade, and the gap between the best cloud-connected and local cameras is closing. Even AI detection smarts can now be found in local systems. 过去，为了将录像保存在本地，往往需要在功能上做出妥协。但现在情况不同了。我已经测试安防摄像头十年了，最好的云端连接摄像头与本地摄像头之间的差距正在缩小。如今，即使是本地系统也具备了人工智能检测的智能功能。
Rather than just listing cameras, I’m highlighting four manufacturers to consider that I’ve tested. I will single out a few specific cameras I like, but most brands have a wide selection of options to suit different scenarios and budgets, so I’ll discuss a few alternatives beyond my main picks. I also plan to test more hardwired systems and local recording options in the months to come. 与其简单地列出摄像头，我将重点介绍我测试过的四个值得考虑的制造商。我会挑选几款我喜欢的特定摄像头，但大多数品牌都有多种选择以适应不同的场景和预算，因此我也会讨论一些主要推荐之外的替代方案。在接下来的几个月里，我还计划测试更多的硬连线系统和本地录制选项。
Eufy
Eufy (悠帆)
With a very wide range of reliable security cameras, Eufy (a sub-brand of Anker) is my top pick for most folks. They are easy to set up, suitable for all budgets, and support different local storage options. Eufy（Anker 的子品牌）拥有种类繁多且可靠的安防摄像头，是我为大多数人推荐的首选。它们易于设置，适合各种预算，并支持多种本地存储选项。
If you want the most versatile and feature-packed, local security camera system, this might be it. These triple-lens cameras combine a 4K fixed main lens that has a 130-degree field of view, with dual 2K lenses that pan through 360 degrees and tilt through 70 degrees. You can zoom in on subjects or license plates more than 150 feet away. 如果你想要一套功能最全面、最强大的本地安防摄像头系统，这可能就是你的选择。这些三镜头摄像头结合了一个 130 度视角的 4K 固定主镜头，以及两个可以 360 度水平旋转和 70 度垂直倾斜的 2K 镜头。你可以放大查看 150 英尺（约 45 米）以外的目标或车牌。
After some controversy in the past over data breaches and claims about local storage, Eufy improved its security protocols with features like end-to-end encryption and better disclosures on when data is being sent to the cloud. 在过去经历了一些关于数据泄露和本地存储声明的争议后，Eufy 改进了其安全协议，增加了端到端加密等功能，并更清晰地披露了数据何时会被发送到云端。
Synology
群晖 (Synology)
If local-first design and privacy are important to you, it may be worth considering Synology’s security camera range. Manufactured in Taiwan, these cameras are National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliant, so they don’t use any components from certain banned (mostly Chinese) manufacturers and can be used by US federal agencies. 如果你看重“本地优先”的设计和隐私，那么群晖（Synology）的安防摄像头系列值得考虑。这些摄像头在台湾制造，符合《国防授权法案》（NDAA）的要求，因此不使用任何来自某些被禁（主要是中国）制造商的组件，可供美国联邦机构使用。
It also makes sense to pair Synology cameras with a Synology NAS device or NVR, with Surveillance Station installed. This allows you to record locally, view camera feeds (multiple views simultaneously), and record continuously. You can also tweak detection settings for people and vehicles and set restricted areas, zones, or lines. 将群晖摄像头与安装了 Surveillance Station 的群晖 NAS 设备或 NVR 配对也是明智之举。这使你能够进行本地录制、查看摄像头画面（同时查看多个画面）并进行连续录制。你还可以调整人员和车辆的检测设置，并设置限制区域、区域或警戒线。
