PoE is awesome. My custom home security system is all CCTV PoE with a gstreamer backend running on four-core fanless linux box. Way to go. Complete control. No batteries, no wares spying on me, no personal data getting scraped by big guys. (Cloud connectivity sucks because I have segmented mp4s and jogging through them hurts but I only care for events after they happen, not while they happen.)

Got any recommendations on what cameras to get? The market is absolutely flooded with cheap shitty cloud-connected all-in-one cameras making it hard to find good, simple products.

Any of those that mention ONVIF or RTSP will do if you put them on a LAN without internet access

Not my experience. I've tried several such cameras and most of them are underpowered and suffer from very low fps or are fine when there's no movement but with movement the fps drops drastically essentially making the camera close to useless.
