Other than the windows dependence, what’s the issue with blueiris? I’ve tried the others you’ve listed as well and found it to be the most robust by quite a bit. I wish the web interface were better, and having to use a reverse proxy or vpn to get mobile access is also… meh.

it’s Windows. I’m not going to run a Windows server.

I’m not even going to run Windows clients.

It’s a shame they can’t do a containerized version of BlueIris. That is something I probably would run, so long as I could avoid running Windows.

There are multiple options to run it in a container. I'm not advocating for any of them because I just broke down and bought a dedicated machine running Windows for it. Some examples:

I can't even get it to boot on the latest Win 10 Enterprise VM. Launching the app will terminate my RDP connection instantly.

I fucking hate maintaining Windows infrastructure. Everything that should be straightforward is a nightmare.
