Edit: ideally wifi cameras that I can solar power.

Looking to replace my Arlo cameras with something self-hostable. Arlo lets you store on a USB stick, but there's no way to get out from under their cloud, which gets more expensive all the time.

Missed at least two of the more important ones:

RTSP	Real Time Streaming Protocol
ONVIF	Open Network Video Interface Forum

Still a pretty cool bit idea though. Keep at it!
