Tapo is one of the few camera companies that don't seem to be going to hard on screwing over their users, unusual for this age. Per the specs this has RTSP and ONVIF = good for local use.
I stay away from cloud cameras now, but if that's your jam it looks like theirs (Tapo Care Premium - which mostly enables notifications with images and clip recording) costs about $3.50 per camera or $12 for up to 10 cameras to subscribe to their cloud storage. Clip storage is 30 days (no 24/7 cloud recording)

I use some Tapo cams in dead spots until I can put poe ones up there. The interface is not the best, but it's also not the worst. It uses the same Tapo app that's used for all the other Tapo devices.
At least for the non-sub there's no rich (snapshot) notifications which is kind of annoying, but I have another system I'm putting up that will.
I think I should start switching to tapo from wyze soon. I will wait for a better price though hopefully
These are like $10 more than a wyze that doesn't have the pan/tilt feature? And they work way better. It's not worth struggling with Wyze and their subscription push and lack of direct control.
All the inconvenience of wired power with all the unreliability of Wi-Fi!
No kidding. I have a top of line TP-Link WiFi 7 router and even the 4K Tapo camera I have that's like 20 feet from it I can hardly ever connect too. Someday I'll have everything POE because wired is seriously the only thing reliable. I have zero confidence in any WiFi camera to actually keep me safe lol

A note on the local use, if these are like C210s I recently got, you need to first set up the camera using the Tapo app on a phone (give it your wifi name and password, then enable local control and set up login info for ONVIF on the camera), then you can block the camera on your router from accessing the outside web. At that point, you can view the stream and use RTSPnand ONVIF locally. But if you ever need to make other changes (like the wifi access), you can only do that through the app. These do not have any local login page like you get with a fully local camera, possibly because they are wifi only, so all admin activity has to happen through the tapo app with access to their servers (so if you disabled internet access on them liek I did, you would have to turn it back on temporarily).

Buying one though. Sick of the Wyze nickel and diming. My current TAPO cams are great
