Camera suggestions (self.homeassistant)

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.

Dahua. They're the producer of a lot of other brands (have a look here)

This seems like the best option for my country. They are easily available and seem cheaper than Reolink. Do they have free API for all the smart functions as well? Like movement detection etc.
