Indoor camera recommendations?

Looking to purchase (for work) a WiFi based camera system that plugs in (for cameras), continuously records, and is either NVR or cloud based.
Power is easy to find, but running additional CAT5 is not, so this is why cameras must be of the plug-in variety.

I've been very happy with my Nest cameras.
Have the indoor, outdoor, and doorbell and all work flawlessly.

Do any of them record continuously?

Reolink’s wifi cams have ability to save footage to sd card or reolink cloud (free and pay options). They have ability for continuous recording.

Hard to beat a Wyze camera for the price. My Wyze camera is set to record contiguously to the SD card. I get about 4 days on a 32GB SD card before it starts recording over the old video.

If you are in the Unifi ecosystem and have the Protect software already; the G3 Instant would be a good option at only $29. That is if you can find it anywhere.
For some reason, the G3 Instant has to be setup with Protect to enable RTSP. Almost all of the other Unifi cameras can be setup for RTSP w/o the Protect software.

The only camera available on their website is the $1800 PTZ. Been that way for several weeks and even then, what they get only stays in stock for a few hours.
Speaking of, I need to check...
ETA: Nope, I think they are getting away from the direct to consumer and are taking large orders from distributors. There's no way I can consistently find whatever I need on other sites, but not on Ubiquiti's.

My brother just bought 6x g4 bullets, 2 g3 flex, a doorbell, and an instant. Flex and g3 instant have been available about one to two times each day for most business days in the last two weeks.
I think he bought the doorbell from Baltic which gave him a conservative ship date.

They are having issues getting stuff like everyone else and they have flippers that contantly buy up what they can to sell on ebay and amazon for 2x as much.
Monitor UbiquitiInStock on Reddit and you will have some luck. I keep it open on my work computer, sort by new not hot, and refresh when ever you think about it. In the last week I have been able to get a g3 instant, wifi 6 enterprise AP, and 6 g4 pro cameras. I have passed on more g3 instants because I want to get the g4 to test out and see if its worth the extra cost. It has come up once so far since something out of EA last week. I missed out on my NVRP yesterday, last piece to my first round upgrading and testing path.
EDIT to add G3 instant is in stock right now. Get a move on...It looks like its been in stock for a bit but it will likely be out by the time you read this

Edit to add again...out of stock now
