Simple camera without 3rd party apps or accounts (mander.xyz)

Partly because of your help, I now have a pretty decent HA set-up with lights and motion sensors. I was wondering if I could again pick your brain/ experience with the next step I need to take: add a camera.

A few days ago I bought a TAPO camera, and to my disappointment it was practically impossible to get it working without an app + account. Luckily I could return it.

I now want to avoid making the same mistake 😬 And I would love to hear how you approached this.

I think I'm going Ubiquity, which isn't entirely platform agnostic, but should work with Frigate just fine afaik. Would love if someone could confirm.
