Ubiquiti, an American company.

Appreciate the response. Checking their privacy settings on the app, Ubiquity seems to be the most privacy conscious.

Ubiquity stuff is entirely on-premises, their (optional) cloud service is strictly for auth and remote access. Highly recommended, not just for the privacy conscious. Their ecosystem is also relatively affordable (compared to Aruba and Ruckus) and a joy to setup and maintain. No subscriptions or recurring fees.

Yep just to tack onto this, I find their stuff is fairly easy to stack together as well. Have ended up building my entire home network and security setup with Ubiquiti gear, there’s a good Home Assistant integration if you’re into that.

Can you reliably make it work without buying their router though?

I’ve been looking at them for a while but I don’t want to be forced into their ecosystem.

You can run UniFi Protect on your own server, or use one of their appliances with it, just not as a router, akin to a Eufy HomeBase.
