Any good floodlight cameras without subscription?

Been looking at the Ring floodlight cameras, but concerned about subscription costs. Anyone have recommendations that don't require a subscription?

Wasn't there a security issue earlier this year?

£25 fulfilled Amazon via on-page £11 discount tickbox for claimed 2500 lumens twin-spot motion-triggered cam typically shifted as Voger 820 or clones.
Live view and recording; integral TF/microSD card slot for local footage storage. No sub required for 24/7 or event recording & notifications.
Keepa doesn't seem to mention the £11 discount at
keepa.com/
but clearly on-page at time of post:

Check web & especially Youtube with search term:
install MF820 Floodlight Camera
and also research the app, that may (or may not) be WowCam depending on cam variant.

Similar generic device with significant ratings / Q&A at Amazon US:
amazon.com/dp/…F4/

Or there's quite a few cams with ongoing rolling free cloud storage that have integral white light,
although tend to be comfort / spot lighting not floodlight.

Thanks for the info. Reviews seem quite poor sadly. But that is an amazing price.

I've got the Bosch Smart Eyes Outdoor, had it a couple of years and had no issues.

Nice, didn't know that Bosch did these. Pricey though.

I'll acknowledge the "Eufy lies" privacy debacle and raise you one by mentioning the well-known Anker UK Ltd (official shifter of Eufy kit in UK, plus misc battery/cable tat) that still chooses not to sort Data Protection registration even though such registration is mandatory, not optional.
What is the typical business-crippling cost of this mandatory DP requirement?
Annual £35 FFS.
This is plausibly indicative of the ongoing dismissive attitude to DP and its customers' privacy from Eufy & its partners.
Anker is simply as arrogant and/or ignorant as Eufy.
