It’s not that hard, and you only need cameras and the raspberry pi.
Pretty much any wifi camera that supports standards like RTSP or ONVIF can be made to work with open source camera stuff on the Pi. Also you can store the videos on the RPi’s storage (USB or SD)
1: How do I get an RTSP or ONVIF? Every time I try to buy one, the stuff that is recommended is no longer available, or practically only available in US. (I haven’t checked in months maybe years, but this is where I usually get stuck.)
2: So I get a camera, and I have an rpi or PC-based server with storage. I can see a stream, but that’s just an extra eye. How do I turn this into a surveillance camera, so I get a notification when there’s movement, and an archive of people in the monitored area?

Great.
