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.

I use Reolink cams with BlueIris software. None of it has access to the internet. Works fine.

Reolink looks like a solid answer, thanks.

Do additional research on the models you’re interested in. Unfortunately they don’t all play nice with 3rd party software but the ones that use open standards are good bang for the buck.

Can vouch for this. Been using a bunch of Reolink cameras with BI for years. Be careful with Reolink, though. Some cameras work fine and some don't at all, unless you use some middleman software, which is still hit or miss. Ran into this recently with a camera I got for my garage.

Edit: The Reolink Lumus line is NOT compatible. They don't broadcast rtsp.

The wireless wifi Reolink cameras won't work the way OP wants, only the poe ones have rtsp

I have a mix of wifi and POE cameras and they all work for me.

2 of my Reolinks are on Wi-Fi and work fine. It depends on the model.

I also use this exact setup, works great!
