I saw a review of the Wyze security camera that was pretty positive on it. It's dirt cheap ~$26 at Amazon. I was impressed because of all it packed in for that price, but I'm not really in the market, so I didn't pay a ton of attention.
Sorry, but I can't give any more in depth info. Looks like it ticks most of the boxes, but it's not open in any way, I believe.
