What local security cam options do I have?

Hi all. Related to Synology because it's my NAS obviously and also currently my home server.

So I want to install some cameras to monitor my home. I don't want the data to go to a cloud service. I have a VPN to my router which allows me to access my home internet. My Synology NAS could be related to this, but also not necessarily needed if another option is better.

I don't know really all that much about these systems. My idea is something like: record up to 72(?) hours of history, and have remote access (with slight delay is fine).

Can I run it through the Synology NAS, maybe just some docker? Or does it require it's own complete system? How should I do it?

I askwd Claude and it said Surveillance station and my NAS has 2 free licenses, but I don't really trust it on subjects I am not familiar with. I have a 224+. No cameras yet.

Thanks!
