Which private (no cloud requirement) wireless home security cameras save footage locally without monthly subscription? (lemmy.ml)

I tried wyze and find it silly how video clips are limited to 5 seconds unless you give them money every month. I want something where the footage is saved on a local sdcard/hdd without any cloud reliance.

Even better if I don't have to be locked into using the manufacturer's app, but I'm flexible on that.

Safemo is a wireless camera system that saves files locally to the hub, and even allows you to upgrade the drive for more storage. Cameras can be battery powered only, or use a solar panel for continual recharging or the battery. The only flaw is the flaw with any wireless camera, that there is a delay from activity recognition to the record time. So you might miss something depending on your camera positioning.
