    I did exactly this last year to monitor my cats at home while I was on holiday.

    I bought two of these - REOLINK RLC-811A: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09873G7X3

    I assigned static IPs to both of these, and blocked all of their outgoing traffic to the public internet (in case Chairman Xi or Strongman Putin wants to also see what my cats are up to).

    I then spun up a local motioneye container: https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneye

    The cameras by default (I think) provide rtsp streams, so I added the two streams (rtsp://somehostname.local:554/h265Preview_01_main) to motioneye and verified that I was able to view the camera streams on my local LAN.

    The last step was simply to use cloudflare to as an authentication frontend to proxy my local motioneye container to my public domain name. Worked a treat!

    Hope this helps, cheers.
