Commenting so I can remember to check back for any suggestions. I’ve basically run into this problem:
Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn’t require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).
Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.
I think I’m just gonna get some Pi Zeros + cameras and just roll my own. Probably use the NoIR versions and some cheap IR illuminators. Feed those into Zoneminder.
Bonus points if I can find some old CCTV cameras, gut them, and fit the pi camera to those optics.
