I was not happy with wyze V3 but found reolink to work fine without internet, and Amcrest to be the best overall for being open and working without needing fancy software. I'd wholehearted recommend Amcrest except they don't have a very wide angle cam.

The issue with Amcrest and Wyze (and hundreds of other brands), is that they're just re-badging Dahua cameras, which are banned in the US. See https://ipvm.com/reports/ban-law for more information.

Of the lower cost and reasonably well-known names, the only brand that doesn't seem to be doing that is Reolink.
