This is the way.

Reolink cameras are pretty good for what they are. Just dont buy into their NVR solution...

Frigate also has some interesting applications to go along with it, see: https://github.com/mmcc-xx/WhosAtMyFeeder

I also have YOLO on my to do list for the home cameras.

What's wrong with their NVRs? I have one connected to some Reolink cameras (though not yet the full house-surrounding setup I have planned) and it seems fine so far.

Reolink with Synology NAS using their native Surveillance app. All stored locally, no cloud. One issue with Reolink I haven’t solved is that it is unable to detect approaching cars in the night. Departing cars work fine though. Otherwise no complaints.

Dont dorget to pay Synology for the extra licenses for more cameras.

Yes I did pay for extra licenses. I also paid for the cameras to Reolink and disks to WD.

I’m less happy with Reolink and most of Reolink are now in a drawer. Been a fan of Amcrest and Scrypted.
