You could get a raspberry pi and a camera module. MotionEye can be installed as the OS. It requires a network connection to your LAN to set it up, but it can be disconnected afterwards. I believe it can be configured to store all files locally.
Edit: Fixed link
That link:

Those instructions will likely still work, but fwiw MotionEyeOS (a minimal Linux distro built on buildroot rather than Debian) appears to have ceased development in 2020.
The MotionEye web app that distro was built for is still being developed, however, as is Motion itself (which is packaged in Debian/Ubuntu/etc and is actually the only software you really need).
Thank you! Didn't realize it was broken. I've updated it.
