Indoor Cube style cameras with Blue Iris other than Wyze or TpLink Products

[atrain99]

Hello Im looking for suggestions for any indoor Poe/Wifi cameras that are small in comparison to the Wyze and TpLink Tapo cube style cams? I have tried the Wyze 3 and Tapo cams using the RTSP protocol and they screwed up my network and once removed the my network works great and my current Blue Iris cams are stable. Thanks for any suggestions

How many Wi-Fi cameras were you running when "...they screwed up my (your) network" ?
In what manner did they get "screwed up"....wireless slowed down to a crawl?
Did you have a dedicated wireless access point?
Or were you streaming the cameras through your LAN's wireless router?

Not cube style, and not tiny, but not so large, and these provide the highest quality images among indoor cameras:

Sadly, neither are POE, but both have Ethernet RJ-45 jacks, and WiFi as well.
I use several of these at home, both wired and wifi.

They can be turned into PoE with an adapter

Thanks for all the help I actually have the amcrest cams and they work well! I saw the

Hikvision Indoor 4MP DS-2CD2443G0-IW PoE Cube Camera but the price is high and wonder if there is anything similar to that style that works good in Blue Iris ? Thanks ​

Thanks for the response so I had 5 running and didn't have any slowdowns. I noticed that the picture wasn't stable etc etc and they would lose connection. Im running the cameras through my LANS wireless router. I also want to stay away from using RTSP. Thanks

Im running the cameras through my LANS wireless router.

FWIW, the switch and wireless portion of most wireless routers is not designed to handle that much bandwidth for extended periods.

I also want to stay away from using RTSP.

...and stream video by what method?
