Looking for an open source light bulb camera i can get.  I looked at
some from Amazon amd they are like 10 to 30 bucks and really most are
similar.   Any that require giving up my privacy and I have total
control over?

Probably better off asking r/smarthome, they’d probably know about
that stuff better. There’s definitely some overlap (fellow Home
Assistant users, looking at you) but this is mainly a software forum,
with some server hardware talk occasionally.

I have not found any off the shelf consumer security/monitoring
cameras that champion selfhosting/privacy across lightbulb/poe/etc
form factors.  Best I could do is not let them talk to anything local
(besides the nvr) nor the internet.  If you find something please
report back.

Yes kinda, but this page doesn't give much information on if it is
open source or what have you.  Do you use this bulb?

You're right, it doesn't give much info.

ONVIF is the standard you're looking for I believe.
