Best camera system for two houses connected over a Tailscale network to record all footage with a single NVR/server

I plan on installing cameras at two of our houses, but would like the footage from one house to piped back by Tailscale subnet and recorded at the main house, only traveling over the tailscale connection (not having to use a cloud service) .

I know you could do this with the Eufy system, and lot’s of cloud managed services as well, but I like to selfhost when possible.

Is there any system/solution you guys would recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Help – Any Alarm Techs in PHX know how to ‘take over’ an existing security system?

Ok so before I start, please know I tried finding help for this in Home Defense, Home Security and a couple specialty subs first. So I’m not just coming here to spam for something somewhat unrelated. But I can’t find an alarm tech that’s located in the Phx area (I’m in northeast Mesa) that’s willing to do this, so I’m here trying to find help.

I moved into a home with a hardwired alarm system (and it appears to be pretty high end stuff) but I think the panel power supply might be dead and I don’t have the passcode even if it wasn’t dead. The previous owners never used it so they didn’t know the passcode. But since it’s already installed on every door and window in the house (and the house is 6000 sq feet so that’s a lot of doors and windows, I don’t really want to just get a new system). I don’t really have a desire to have it centrally monitored but we’d like to be able to set it at night to wake us up if any doors/windows are opened and also to get notifications if we are on vacation and have the ability to arm/disarm remotely. I’ve reached out to a few local companies here in the Phoenix area and none of them want to deal with it. They say I’d need a takeover system and that they dont do those. So I’m just trying to figure out how to even find someone that can do this. Is there a certain type of system or installer I should be looking for? I’ve heard of Konnected systems but the only installer they list on their site doesn’t return calls or emails in Phoenix (and I’m not even sure if those are that good). Looking for some professional advice on what I should do here cause I’m a little lost. Also, I don’t really want to do the install myself so definitely looking for someone local here that can help me with it. I’ve included some picture links of my current system. Thanks!
