I don't have yet any preferences. Cheap, easy to set up, secure. What do you use and can recommend?

Reolink. Cheap, good enough quality, great HA integration, no internet connection needed.

can these be configured to stream TO a remote frigate server?

Example: I'd like to install one at my parent's house, connect it to my parent's wifi, but have it stream to frigate, that's hosted on my server in another city?

i had frigate running locally and could integrate them. That said i grabbed the stream from the local network. I guess you would need some sort of local pi to forward the streams. But that is well above my pay grade ^^ sorry

Yeah, I've already heard about such a solution, where I'd need a Pi that acts as the streaming client, which then should work with any camera.

apparently it’s possible without a relay look here
