It's fricking Cancer! Just check the top sellers on Amazon and they all require you to use an app to generate a QR code to set up your camera. That app won't work unless you make an account handing over your email, phone number and sometimes even CC number
I've returned 3 so far for not being fit for purpose, one of them openly lying about the app requirement.

I use a PS3 Eye Camera with a Raspberry Pi 3 to monitor my hamster cage, extremely cheap setup with no spyware nonsense.
The resolution is 640×480 though which probably isn't great if you're using it to monitor a large area instead of something small like a hamster cage or a fishtank.

I had a security company set up mine and I pay them $165/quarter. It's because everything is in the cloud and I assume you're getting a service that will call the cops? The first week I had my system, I thought by entering the disable code it would stop the cops from coming. Didn't even realize it was going off because I opened a door and went outside. Came back in and heard it, but they call you to make sure everything is ok. Missed the call and then had a cop shining a spotlight into my windows a few minutes later and it freaked me the frick out. The good news is that I know cops around here take care of their white people and get here fast.

have you just tried going to the IP on a browser instead of using the app?

You can't. The only way to connect them is to generate a special QR code and the only way to do that is via the app

i would look at my dhcp server, figure out the IP and try logging in. that's beyond r-slurred if you need an app to set up an IP camera

the exchange is data + money to cover material cost <for> convenience and shitty camera</for>
I haven't done anything crazy myself I just put a spare phone somewhere and charge it while streaming & use that if I need it
Alternatively I could literally just record and not stream it, and have it save to an sd card or something.
If you don't care for it having internet access then just get any cheap cam system that doesn't advertise any kind of cloud storage (you likely won't find this on amazon).

I would recommend either a raspberry pi zero w with motionEye + camera attachment or an old Android phone with the IP Webcam app installed. You can set IP webcam to not use the cloud, and instead expose a local web interface (which you'll have to port forward or set up a VPN to your home to access remotely).

Nope. A lot of these Cameras outright refuse to work until you make an account, generate a QR code from side app account and show it to them.

None of us have ever actually given two shits about FDA approval, we only brought it up because, in your state of mind trusting government authority, it should have been important to you.
It's like you all believing in Santa, and we're trying to tell you he's not real, you can know because you never see him. Now one Christmas eve, you're 40 years old, and come up to peek and see, just in case, Santa might be real. And there he is! He's real! You flock to /r/conspiracy, to tell us we were wrong, but it was your wife's boyfriend all along!
