Hah never thought I'd be compared to that legendary comment! It hits home for me because I worked at Dropbox for years. I did at least qualify that I couldn't in good conscience recommend my setup to non-techies :)

If you don't want a baby camera system that's also a part-time hobby...Nanit does seem like the best option. I just lament that the best option requires giving up so much.

Don't worry, I also use Ubiquiti, and self-host Home Assistant on my TrueNAS :)

I have a little server rack cobbled together out of wood under my basement stairs, with a UDM Pro, 24 port POE switch, and an ancient Dell 2U poweredge for TrueNAS.

You really can trivially do UniFi protect. Barely even have to know networking. I have it along with vtech monitors, works flawlessly.
