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 too have a tp-link tapo indoor camera with said hacs component. I have set alerts for sound and movement, both work well, it need some tuning tough, like mic sensitivity...
For live video feed I use a webrtc camera from hacs as it has much better latency.
As a child monitor it works really well.

Thanks for the heads-up, haven't tried webrtc. Something still missing for me is person detection, with luck it will be added in future as this has been requested by some user to tplink R&D (at this moment, this feature doesn't comply with onvif standard).

None the less, they are good and cheap devices.
