Sick of sending your living-room footage to who-knows-where? Cloud-Free Smart Security hands you a complete, step-by-step blueprint for building a DIY, subscription-free AI camera network that stores every pixel locally-on your terms, in your home, off-grid if you choose. Veteran maker Raúl Ortega shows how to pick the right private AI cameras, wire up encrypted local drives, and unleash edge-AI motion detection without ever leaking data to the cloud.
Inside you'll learn how to:
- Choose hardware that respects privacy-from Raspberry Pi builds to pro-grade self-hosted NVRs.
- Set up encrypted, off-grid storage so no hacker or vendor can peek at your feeds.
- Activate intelligent, on-device analytics (face, object, and motion) with zero monthly fees.
- Integrate solar or battery power for blackout-proof coverage.
- Scale and maintain a bulletproof system that flexes with your property-and never locks you into a brand.
- Navigate legal & ethical rules so your fortress stays neighbor-friendly and regulation-proof.
Whether you're defending a downtown condo or a rural homestead, this hands-on guide cuts through marketing hype and shows you how to reclaim your security-and your privacy-once and for all.
