Replacing Hive camera

Anyone got any suggestions? Hive camera unsupported from 1/8/25 would like something similar no subscription but with ability to record when needed, & obviously good picture.

    I have a Tapo which I run without a subscription. Does everything and the battery last a good while. It was £40 from Amazon on a promotion.

    I recommend the Reolink cameras. I have both a wifi camera and a wired POE set up. No subscription required.
