They’re affordable and ubiquitous, but homeowners shouldn’t be able to act as vigilantes.

Reading only the headline I assumed "not recommended because of the invasive Amazon tracking", instead it was "because some owners become vigilantes"...

I am searching also for a camera but I'm not finding it, can someone help me?

What it must be:

Not battery powered
100% offline
No cloud support at all
No subscription
To replace the door peephole
Onvif support or similar so I can use a generic NVR in my own network for recording
A screen on the inside of the door so I can see who's outside (because now the door peephole is replaced by the camera)

Seems impossible to find

Sounds like a job for a raspberry pi.
