I've been using zoneminder with some POE IP cameras for a long time. It works pretty well, but the interface looks like it's from the 90's. I just wish it would do object detection so it wouldn't send alerts because of shadows or a spider crawling across the lens.
My cameras have been out in the weather for over a decade and are starting to get a bit flaky. I will probably upgrade to some 4K analog cameras and a DVR that can do object detection. Modern IP cameras still don't support gigabit and I don't want any more 100M stuff on my network. I don't trust WiFi for anything security related because it's too easy to jam.
