I did it pretty inexpensive in the cameras front. Got a bunch of TP-Link Tapo cameras, registered them in the app, set the rtsp and Onvif on Frigate, and completely blocked their internet access. Works like a charm with cameras in the $25-65 range.
My issue with tp-link is that their require their app for setup and they lose time once blocked from the internet.
I have not seen the time issue, maybe because Frigate handles all recordings and the cameras are just, well, cameras.
I'll look into that loosing time subject, and if it happens to me, I think there should be a way to change the NTP server, or at least I hope.
The cameras won’t even pick on DHCP provided NTP. The best way to get around it seems to intercept all NTP traffic from the camera and fwd to the local server.
Ah, nice workaround. Thanks.
