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.
I use Amcrest PoE dome cameras with frigate. Quality and price are excellent. My only complaints would be the dome cameras get dirty fast and at night the IR light from inside reflects off of the dirt and makes them useless. Frigate also seems pretty bad at detecting things in night vision mode. And yes, I’ve already made the recommended adjustments in my frigate config.
Are you using an Amcrest IP4M-1041B, can you have a look at this? https://lemmy.world/post/16883143. Thank you.
Amcrest gets recommended a lot but I have no personal experience with them

Think you replied to the wrong person. I don’t like or recommend Amcrest.
Besides your take anything else against them?
Amcrest is all up in your business.
Yeah, but aren’t others as well? My ideia was to run them on an isolated VLAN without Internet access. What brand would you recommend instead.
I’ve owned a bunch of Foscam cameras, a sub-brand owned by Amcrest.
Amcrest and its Foscam sub-brand seem very interested in getting access to your cameras, have less capable and less convenient software, and the cameras themselves seem less well built than Reolink.
I bought a half a dozen V1 Wyze cams, and at least two of them have failed. I won’t touch that brand again. I also would never have used Wyze at all except for the exploit that allowed custom firmware installation for real local access and control.

I’ve got amcrest and I integrate them into HA via mqtt using blue iris.
But amcrest cameras need something like pihole to help block all their taking to the home base
