Open Source cameras for home surveillance? (lemmy.world)

Hi, I am looking for libre solutions to buy for my home surveillance system.

I know that there are open source NVRs, but are there open source WiFi cameras? Cabled cameras just transmit an electrical signal so I don’t care about them.

Someone gifted me a Tapo C-210 but I don’t like the fact that it transmits videos to TpLink’s servers. I just want my self-hosted solution.

Thank you.

fwiw I've used reolinks cameras and have been satisfied with them. I have them integrated with Home Assistant, just use a firewall rule to restrict them from reaching the Internet as I'm paranoid about that stuff. They're not open source but they do function 100% offline without any issues.
