Camera suggestions? (lemmy.zip)

I currently have an ADT system and am looking at ditching it for a HA green with zigbee adapter and doing motion sensors, door/window sensors, smoke alarms, etc over zigbee in HA. The roommate would like cameras and i would like something that doesnt require an account on a company servers that could go bankrupt or phone home. Any suggestions?

Edit: While I doubt it, would it be possible to continue using the ADT sensors with HA instead of having to replace them all? I am assuming they are proprietary garbage and won't work, but being proved wrong would not be a bad thing.

edit 2: my idea so far

  • HA Green (currently running on a Pi 4 just to get a feel for HAOS)
  • Reolink home hub (for managing battery wireless cams and storing video recordings
  • reolink Argus 3E cameras and possibly the doorbell (they detect motion, stream video, and have a floodlight which may get exposed to HA as entities under each cam device)
  • HA ZBT-1 (for zigbee/matter devices)
  • zigbee door/window contact sensors

I don't see anything to indicate what it is. The sensors connect wirelessly to the panel that sits at the front door. But I see no branding on the sensors themselves unless maybe they're on the back and I need to remove them to check. The system was installed in like 2023. The panel itself has no visible branding except for the ADT logo and it is currently not connected to my Wi-Fi network but it does apparently connect to ADT through cellular over I think it's AT&T.
