Is there some really good open source and local cameras that people are using? Because many people default to ring.

    I am looking at using Eufy, no subscription. Unsure of potential of it joining the darkside.

    Edit: China-owned, so it's a pick-your-poison kind of deal.

    Eufy is a sub-brand of Anker, for those unaware.

    You can connect Eufy cameras to your NAS (RTSP) if you want to completely avoid sending the recording to the cloud, or only stored on the MicroSD card.

    Not sure if it is open source, but I switched to ReoLink a while back and have been very happy with it. Good Home Assistant integration, no subscription, and everything can be local (store video clips to an onboard SD Card).

    You can just use analog security cameras and a DVR of your choosing. Don't let the word analog fool you, the cameras are available in up to 4K resolution. Since the video is recorded to the DVR and not some random company's server it is safe. It requires a little more setup and know-how but it is by no means difficult. Check the surveillance section on B&H's website. There are tons of options.
