Edit: ideally wifi cameras that I can solar power.
Looking to replace my Arlo cameras with something self-hostable. Arlo lets you store on a USB stick, but there’s no way to get out from under their cloud, which gets more expensive all the time.
Can vouch for this. Been using a bunch of Reolink cameras with BI for years. Be careful with Reolink, though. Some cameras work fine and some don’t at all, unless you use some middleman software, which is still hit or miss. Ran into this recently with a camera I got for my garage.
Edit: The Reolink Lumus line is NOT compatible. They don’t broadcast rtsp.

The wireless wifi Reolink cameras won’t work the way OP wants, only the poe ones have rtsp
2 of my Reolinks are on Wi-Fi and work fine. It depends on the model.
I have a mix of wifi and POE cameras and they all work for me.
