WiFi Cameras that work with SmartThings but allow local storage?

Here’s my setup:

  1. Blue Iris profile trigger Smart App
    Blue Iris uses profiles as one way to determine when cameras should monitor for motion, record for motion, adjust sensitivity, etc. This app changes those profiles based on your Smart Things mode. So when my ST is in away mode, all cameras record on motion. When in home mode, only the front porch camera. When in night mode, only the front porch camera but with a wider field for motion detection.

  2. Http endpoint motion detector
    Blue Iris can also hit a website address (aka HTTP endpoint) whenever motion is detected. This smart app links individual cameras in Blue Iris to a simulated motion sensor. So for all profiles in Blue Iris i have this setup.

I also have Rboy’s app, but don’t use it very often since setting up the endpoint motion and it’s quicker to open the Blue Iris app on my phone to view livestreams.
