Reolink are the perfect price/performance for home use, in my book. Are they perfect? No. The focus drifts on some models after time (they'll fix it on their own, just not perfectly crisp all the time). The quality of video is "ok". Etc.
I'd love to go Axis, those are AMAZING. But an Axis dome camera is about $600 and Reolink is $90. If you're a business, Axis is the way to go. For home? Reolink.
All the individual cameras in my house are on their own LAN simply because they are plugged directly into the Reolink NVR. I can block the NVR from internet access if I choose. Doesn't seem to need it, other than for remote camera viewing. Which I can do via tailscale.
