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

can these be configured to stream TO a remote frigate server?

Example: I'd like to install one at my parent's house, connect it to my parent's wifi, but have it stream to frigate, that's hosted on my server in another city?

i had frigate running locally and could integrate them. That said i grabbed the stream from the local network. I guess you would need some sort of local pi to forward the streams. But that is well above my pay grade ^^ sorry

Yeah, I've already heard about such a solution, where I'd need a Pi that acts as the streaming client, which then should work with any camera.

apparently it’s possible without a relay look here

It might not be original quality, but this should be fairly straightforward with a tunnel or VPN connection to your parent's house. You'd also lose quality in having a WiFi camera instead of wired.
