I am looking for an IP PoE camera. The thing is, it must work out of the box with something like ONVIF or at least give video stream right away.

I don’t want to run any proprietary apps on my devices, including JavaScript web apps hosted by the camera.

Do you know of any that can be just plugged to the network (would run it on VLAN) and automagically appear on Home Assistant, iSpy or Frigate?

    I purchase cheap Anran branded IP cameras. So far they’ve been meh, but they don’t require application to set up. They do support ONVIF but you have to configure it through web interface. For me that’s good enough. Configure once, ban internet access since no Chinese stuff is ever getting access to internet from my network.

    Whether they will work with mentioned software, I have no idea. I run my own form of software for security cameras by basically implementing FTP server, where most recent events are stored in Redis and hi resolution image is stored elsewhere on hard disk.
