+I am building a house, for which I decided I need a webcam. I have never set up
+a security camera, so have zero knowledge before starting; one good thing — I
+knew the requirements pretty well:
+
+- Nothing that has a subscription fee. ring.com is pretty good for short-term
+  plug&play, but I cannot brace myself for a yearly payment, especially that I
+  have (and can afford to maintain and upgrade) storage, network and compute.
+- Use off-the-shelf hardware, so I am only minimally required to maintain the
+  setup.

+
+The Setup
+---------
+
+
+```
+           o-
+          /\
+        Camera
+          |
+    LTE/5G Router
+          |
+   <public internet>
+          |
+         NVR
+
+```
+* Camera is the single most important component. Easy to understand what it is
+  and why it matters too.
+* *NVR* is a Network Video Recorder. Besides the camera, this is the *second
+  most important component*. This is the thing that captures a video stream
+  from the camera, (optionally) detects people and vehicles.
+
+Picking the camera
