My current setup is that I have a home server running a number of services that are only accessible to myself on my local network (Jellyfin, Home Assistant, etc.) and a DigitalOcean droplet I rent that runs a number of public facing items (personal websites).

Hi all, I am looking for recommendations for the best (based off your real world experience) wifi outdoor camera. Hard wired cameras are not an option for me unfortunately. Preferably no brand that requires an account or cloud connection.
