Dahua T5442T / Empiretech IPC-541-AS for night. It's B&W + IR but the stills it takes at night with motion are very good. If you're dead set on color, the 4K-X and 4K-T are good, but don't get good night motion detail . You really just need light to do that well. They both have excellent feature sets and are great bang for the buck. I believe a fair number of the frigate team use 5442 as well , so there's that.

Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
