Have you tried Amcrest?

Yes that is what I am currently using. Every couple days the stream stops functioning and I have to reboot it. Stream playback with every conceivable FOSS video player I have tried is never 100% smooth and always has some kind of microstutter, regardless of the codec, resolution, framerate, bitrate, stream protocol etc. or number of viewers (and I have tried every combination of them all).
Wyze cameras are cheap and work pretty reliably for me. They don't support onvif. I'm sure it's because they want you to subscribe to their paid services that analyze the video feed.

I want the quality and cheapness and reliability of wyze with onvif.

I've been using an Amcrest AD410 doorbell camera with HomeKit Secure Video via Scrypted for about a month and I haven't had any trouble with it at all.
