Which private (no cloud requirement) wireless home security cameras save footage locally without monthly subscription?

I tried wyze and find it silly how video clips are limited to 5 seconds unless you give them money every month. I want something where the footage is saved on a local sdcard/hdd without any cloud reliance.

Even better if I don't have to be locked into using the manufacturer's app, but I'm flexible on that.

I would recommend PoE security cameras. You probably want support for RTSP / ONVIF.
I have some Amcrest cameras talking to Frigate. It is completely local---cameras on a separate VLAN that can't talk to the Internet, footage is recorded on a server running Frigate. Works very well for me. No vendor lock-in is also nice!
- I'd love PoE but unfortunately have to get wireless because I can't run ethernet to the outside it's just too much work for a big building and involves drilling holes, etc.
