Anyone know of self-hostable security cameras?

Edit: ideally wifi cameras that I can solar power.

Looking to replace my Arlo cameras with something self-hostable. Arlo lets you store on a USB stick, but there's no way to get out from under their cloud, which gets more expensive all the time.

Does Ubiquiti qualify?

They do but are a poor value next to most other options.

They are an excellent value next to most other otpions if youve ever actually implemented more than one solution.

I have and I have done unifi. I don't like being restricted to their NVR or software solutions because it means I to toss the cameras if I want to extend solution with things like ptz or verifocal cameras. Want to add ai/ml detection sorry can't do...

Unifi is good for some people but it's not the solution for everyone. Reolink can also offer similar ecosystem experiences but also while letting you expand your system if wanted.
