I've just added a bunch of security cameras into my home network and
will soon add a few more....now I need to make a decision - do I
expand my Synology Surveillance station licensing or do I build a VM
on my proxmox host?

I really like the ease of use of surveillance station and the
associated android app, but the cost.of additional camera licensing
isn't attractive, particularly as it fully binds me into the Synology
ecosystem.

I know there are some good self hosting options around but haven't
devled into them in depth...

Can anyone comment on their experience of Synology vs other self
hosted solution and pros/cons etc?

Synology seem to have lifted the free camera limit

They've basically let users determine their own hardware limits, but
you still need to pay for the licenses
