Family just got one of these dumb things and I need a quick replacement option to order and return this crap. What is there that works offline and I can set up to work with fruit phones? (Not a fruit phone/fruit salad user)

Reolink or Amcrest
Amcrest have way too much crap they collect; telemetry, location, and 3rd party info sharing. I saw no mention of how they are processing data. The “we can change this at any time and it’s up to you to figure it out” policy is all I ever need to know. This says 'this doc is all about how much we f$$$ you over, for now, but maybe we’ll double you up later without warning. https://amcrest.com/privacy-policy
Reolink is straight up using google analytics. Definitely not private either.
Reolink has had some concerns over privacy, and transparency. You’re required to use their app, even if you’re linked into HomeAssisstant/Frigate. Most of their cameras also don’t offer continuous recording, which has made me really regretting my Reolink E1 Outdoor.
Yeah. FOSS or fuck 'em. I am on Graphene and will never install anything from google. Android means the app is on F-Droid. If it is on the google proprietary framework, it is not Android.

Frigate is a camera server. In order to link Reolink into it you’re required to download their app, register for an account, and then setup your server. The fact that you’re required to download their app, and make an account is the problem.
It’s entirely possible I missed some method of doing this that doesn’t have this problem, but google turned up no results when I was setting it up.
