Any suggestions for a Wi-Fi ipcam I can use as a baby monitor? (programming.dev)

I currently use Frigate as an NVR for my outside cameras. I would like something that integrates with that. I really just care that it is fully local. I don't want a chance of someone on the internet being able to access a camera in my baby's bedroom.

I tried and there is a noticeable delay / lag when using a wifi camera. I recommend using a real baby cam with a dedicated RF link to the base station like those made by Infant Optics. If u want to add a wifi based one as a supplement/ to feed the NVR, check out wyze v1 cams with the RTSP firmware.
