I want to use Motion, as stated.

I have some old phones laying around, they can be used for the initial setup. The PoE connection should be completely isolated. (that’s the idea)

Thanks, I’ve targeted the Reolink TrackMix P760 (white) of the one on their own site (black, but at discount). Colour doesn’t matter to much (house is green, so it’ll not match anyway), but I’ve asked around if the colour of the lower part is the only difference (looks like it’s only that, no technical difference).

Motion should be ablt to access the camera via the rsvp uri. Haven’t found any reviews when used that way. (all on YT show the proprietary software)

That was my idea as well, wall the device off, don’t let it escape it’s vlan, but allow it to answer internal traffic. I want to use motion to capture activity, preferably including animals. (WAF, she likes to see what animals visit at night)

With “stand alone” is meant a camara you can use without suplier software (at home or in the cloud).

I just want a camera that I can use with motion. (unify has local software, but still you need their software as far as I know)
