  Check out ReoLink cameras; you can set them up and use them fully locally.

    Be aware that some only work with neolink in between. I have some B800 cams and the picture is phenomenal, but I have to use neolink and h265.

    I moved to Amcrest. Much more open, the api is documented, and h264.

      Amcrest is a new one to me. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have a hard time trusting a company that appears to try to hide its country of origin. And I’m not interested in anything made by a Chinese company.

  May or may not be an option for you but buy any camera that supports rtsp, only allow that traffic from their network through and block everything else. Works fine for me and my Amcrest cameras. You could accomplish this with a pi and a USB network card and some basic iptables.

  Pine64 makes a security camera for use with a (included?) Raspberry Pi, iirc

  Check out thingino.com. Its a great fully open source project for privacy respecting firmware for ip cameras (unlike other alternatives) and a really helpful bunch of devs.

  Might fit you well since you mention youre good with linux

    Another new project to consider. Thanks!

    I add OpenIPC for great FOSS firmware too

      I used to use openipc (that was the “alternative” i was referring to") but its not truly FOSS. Their default streamer is hidden behind closed doors and theyve also taken some contributions and added it to majestic never to be seen in the open again.

      That said, it is a great alternative if you dont have ingenic based cameras. And they now offer minimal other open source options for streamers…

      Some of the key devs left and created thingino because of the whole foss thing. Imo theyre a much friendlier bunch too but thats purely an opinion
