As I said on mastodon... Its dangerous to buy cameras from any random company. Not only are they a security risk since they get exposed to the internet, but they even upload the videos to external servers sometimes.

Its way more secure to use your own system. Maybe using sbcs or smth.

I've found foscam cameras are the best affordable cameras that support rtsp over LAN for uses like this. I've tried wyze cameras too because there's a hacky method of enabling RTSP, but it can't keep a connection to save its life, while of course if you stream to their servers and use their app it works fine.

Just be sure to block their access to the internet.
