Any recommendations for good open protocol cameras? I heard about Reolink cameras, are they ok? I need them to be Ethernet and be able to stream with RTP/RTSP and expose some sort of API for control/monitoring. And not depend on cloud, if possible. Thanks.

Dahua. They're the producer of a lot of other brands (have a look here)

I've had exclusively Amcrest's in the past, but for my new house bought some rebadged Dahua's from empire tech. Only set one up so far but seems good too! Reolink often keeps some pretty damn impressive pricing for their feature set, too.

This seems like the best option for my country. They are easily available and seem cheaper than Reolink. Do they have free API for all the smart functions as well? Like movement detection etc.
