Well, “good” I think might be subjective TBH. I have 2 Aquara G4 video doorbells. They support SDCards for local video.
They also support Apple, Google, Amazon, etc. Aquara also has their own cloud infrastructure.
I’m in the Apple ecosystem and use HKSV and local SDCard as a backup. The Aquara app is pretty decent but they annoy you with “do you want you use our cloud storage” notifications. All of which can be ignored.
I use the Home app on my phone and they work well with that. Only use the Aquara app to check battery and firmware updates.
Open source gets a little tricky with Aquara G4. I don’t completely remember if they are compatible with something like Home Assistant. I kinda gave up on HA and put no effort into the doorbells.
The new model the G410 just got released and may have better protocol support, meaning they may play better with open source HA, Scripted (spelling), etc.
They’ve been solid devices but again may not completely fit your requirements.
I guess for me the ideal would be, I can install linux on it and run a MotionEye server. Second best would be it doesn’t connect to remote servers by default and has a well documented local api.

Understood what you are looking for but, unfortunately, I don’t know enough to provide a better answer.
Best bet would be to ask one of the Linux communities here on Lemmy.
I do hope you can find something that suits your needs, good luck!!
Well thanks anyway for sharing what you know
