Any suggestions for a Wi-Fi ipcam I can use as a baby monitor? (programming.dev)

I currently use Frigate as an NVR for my outside cameras. I would like something that integrates with that. I really just care that it is fully local. I don't want a chance of someone on the internet being able to access a camera in my baby's bedroom.

I have Frigate set up with an Amcrest IP2M. I ended up buying a second wifi AP because my 2.4GHz was really clogged up after turning it on (probably related to a bunch of other stuff already on the same network).

It "phones home" a lot so I put it on a separate vlan and disabled internet access for it.
