I want to setup a camera monitoring for my house and some rooms. I need to bee able to view the cameras remotely and and also do recording if possible. I could find some camera brands like dahua cams but having briefly tested them they. Seem to rely on acwmtralized cloud and proprietary visualization software.

What are you recommendation? This is not a professional setup I would at max have 3 cameras.

The cheapest way I found was getting some TP-Link Tapo cameras that have RTSP and Onvif, and run them under frigate.

Set them up in the app, cloud and all, then add them to your frigate, now block internet for them.

Those cameras are anywhere from 25 to around 50 dollars each. Best bang for the buck I could find.
