Aye.

ONVIF is the (now quite old, but still very relevant) standard for interfacing IP cameras locally on a network.

A cheap-but-performant ONVIF camera on an isolated VLAN (or a physically-isolated network; I won't tell anyone) can be a thing of beauty that is also completely unable to call home to some mothership in the clown.

I'm frankly very surprised that I don't see it mentioned here more often when discussions of cameras arise.

ONVIF has it's own problems, like when a NVR require ONVIF and all you have is rtsp. You need to convert somehow.

Or ONVIF has a multiple cameras behind a IP, but a crappy ONVIF client only picks one (Unifi Protect).

Not my experience. I've tried several such cameras and most of them are underpowered and suffer from very low fps or are fine when there's no movement but with movement the fps drops drastically essentially making the camera close to useless.
