I don't know if it's supported anymore but some Wyze cameras have an official but unsupported alternative firmware you can flash that exposes them as a local network video stream. They work great and anything on your network can ingest the video. I don't think they made this firmware for their fancier cameras that have motorized pan/tilt etc though.

How do we trust the firmware from a company that had backdoors in their product open to the world? The first time there was a lot of 'well any multi-team product devs could screw up..'

but the second time it was exposed they knew of the open exploit for quite some time and chose not to patch it right?
