Looking for indoor security camera recommendation (lemmy.zip)

Hi lemmys.

My friend is looking for an indoor security camera. He's only going to use it while he's away, which doesn't happen too often. Otherwise, the camera will be in a box.

Are there any good cameras, which also have an iOS app? Can't be self-hosted as he's not that technically savvy and overseas so I can't do it myself lol

Thanks :)

I have a TP-Link Kasa indoor WiFi camera. This one in particular. It's not a self-hosted camera that uses an NVR or anything. It's accessible from the Kasa app on iOS (and Android). It requires a microSD card to store footage.

There is a cloud subscription option to recorded footage, but it's not required. I am subscribed though, because if a camera is stolen/broken during a break-in or something, there goes all the recordings that one might need.
