Can anyone recommend decent home security cameras which aren't Chinese?

We have Reolink at work (which are Chinese) which, to be fair, are decent enough although viewing remotely is sometimes a bit hit-and-miss. I want something a bit more secure which doesn't pass through Chinese servers on it's way to my phone.

Hikvision are the best cameras out there. They won't go via any Chinese servers either. You can either set up port forwarding and access via your home IP or leave it on the local LAN only and access via VPN.

It is funny that you dont think any other crook in another country cant be trusted.
The US have a hotline into all our internet traffic anyway, so they can see all your footage anyway.

You are crediting things to me which I have not said.
