Low power security camera (self.homeautomation)

Any low power security cameras that would recommend with night vision and decent quality? Ideally non-smart without a cloud option as I would like to connect it directly to an offline server with a cable or wifi (although not having a wifi might be better)

One thing with Reolink, for anyone seeing this, just be sure to get one of the hardwired (for power) cameras. I have a wired Reolink doorbell (which is quite nice) and a solar+battery powered Argus which is practically useless other than as a deterrent. The battery powered devices don't integrate well, no video streams, and have very weak object detection.
