Looking for a "dumb" IP camera (feddit.de)

Not sure if there’s a better community to ask this, but I’m trying to find a good quality non-cloud-based IP camera that I can feed into a standardized video recording software over a network. Ideally, it would be Wi-Fi capable as well.

Everywhere I’ve looked, they all reach out to a third-party and go through an app or are through junction box and are analog-based.

Does anyone know if an option like this exists?

Might be easiest to hack it together yourself with an rpi and a camera? Seriously, I don't think you can really trust any manufacturer of an Internet (wifi) capable camera device to not try to gather sweet sweet data.

Yes, that is what I did. It's kinda cheap, upgradable, and very configurable.

I have even a few ESP32-CAMs. They cost like 2 or 3 moneys (with shipping).
