I have a Reolink PoE camera. It works fine. As far as I can tell, it only uses the internet to check for updates and set the time, but I have it blocked off anyway. Home Assistant was actually causing it to check for updates, too, so that got disabled.
I don’t record, so I can’t help you there.
I will say that is a pain to get Home Assistant to display real-time video instead of a slide show.

  It displays fine by default, but the image only updates every several seconds. I’m talking about a live video feed, which needs some kind of special frame which has to be bolted onto HA somehow.

  Eh? Shouldn’t it be real time already?
  
  this is my configuration:
  
  - camera_view: live type: picture-glance entities: [] camera_image: camera.cam_profile000_mainstream tap_action: action: none
  
  I am using ONVIF integration for the camera

  I haven’t, that’s the problem. It seems like it’s possible, but I’ve given up trying for the moment.
