| TP-Link Smart Home | Works Local | Cheap; set up with internet then block IP; integration offers extra controlsSaved copyAgree with Tapo. Hard to beat for the price! And if you aren't careful with amcrest and reolink, some of those you need the account to set up too. Tapo I have set them up when they have Internet access, then immediately block them based on the IP in our router. The home assistant integration even lets you do things like sync the time etc all local through ha. Hard to beat at $25 a camera. It is rtsp, and I've had no issues integrating them into frigate either. We have 10-15 running in our house Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2025-09 | |
| Tapo: Cameras Control | Works Local | No cloud subscription needed; integrates well, all localSaved copyI just got some Tapo cameras. No cloud subscription required. Don’t put an SD card in it and it won’t persistently record anything. Cheap, integrates well via the HACS Tapo: Cameras Control integration. All local.

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.
