I don’t have yet any preferences. Cheap, easy to set up, secure. What do you use and can recommend?

    Reolink. Cheap, good enough quality, great HA integration, no internet connection needed.

      I’ve owned a bunch of Foscam cameras, a sub-brand owned by Amcrest.

      Amcrest and its Foscam sub-brand seem very interested in getting access to your cameras, have less capable and less convenient software, and the cameras themselves seem less well built than Reolink.

      I bought a half a dozen V1 Wyze cams, and at least two of them have failed. I won’t touch that brand again. I also would never have used Wyze at all except for the exploit that allowed custom firmware installation for real local access and control.
