What Hacker News says
4 sourcesI finally gave up trying to use the mini hacks to make RTSP work reliably. I ended up using Wyze Bridge [0] instead, and it has been far more stable. Using Frigate for the web UI. It doesn't make for a local-only solution, but I don't use my cameras to record anything that would bother me if other people saw it.
As time and motivation permit, I've been converting the cameras I care about over to POE. But having to run cable across the house for each one means I haven't done them all.

Make sure to get a SD card for local recording
Then use this docker app to get raw RTSP urls and LAN only -> https://github.com/mrlt8/docker-wyze-bridge
Next use Frigate as your NVR -> https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate
--------
The wyze cams use about 3-5 watts of energy over USB. This make perfect for using a USB battery bank, a solar "generator" like the comments mention, or any place you can get "usb" power. This assumes you have Wifi, but if you have say a 4g modem, id assume it has wifi hotspot on it, most do. Then you still can connect the wyze cams to them.
If you are concerned about privacy, thats where the docker app + sd card comes to play. You are recording to SD and also RSTP streaming via the docker app. If you are ultra concerned, just block

the api calls with your favorite firewall/adguard/pi hole.
I have this exact setup and very happy. Runs on docker, I self host via traefik and VPN into my box for access.
This RTMP/RTSP/HLS docker container bridge is leagues better, and there's no firmware to mess with.
