Any recommendations for good open protocol cameras? I heard about Reolink cameras, are they ok? I need them to be Ethernet and be able to stream with RTP/RTSP and expose some sort of API for control/monitoring. And not depend on cloud, if possible. Thanks.

I've had success with Foscam cameras. They don't need the cloud to set up, but they are a bit fussy without it and need MS Edge to access the UI. Once they're setup, though, you can manage them through 3rd party IP Cam apps.
