What I find fascinating is that he said you can just get a wireless camera that encrypts and stores to an SD card if you want a camera.

I just spent two hours looking for such a device and as far as I can tell, unless you're looking for a 1080p spy cam, nothing exists. All security cameras either need WiFi to setup or have cellular connectivity. There are PoE wired options with DVRs, but no battery powered just sit there and record options.

Try reolink. They have a couple of options. You dont need a wifi connection. Just an sd card. Or if you want ypu can have s/ftp setup at your pwn hpme server.

I believe arlo cameras have an option to keep all recording in house. I think still connected through your wifi.

Not sure about encrypted storage on the SD card, never heard of that.

However, reolink can be setup with the app once then connected to a VLAN that has no internet access and connects only to home assistant. Then you access the camera with home assistant only.

Requires technical knowledge to setup, but reolink cameras work well in this setup.

Yeah Reolink is good, I have 5 of their cameras blocked from the internet with their NTP server set to my solar Raspberry Pi with GPS.
