I prefer a camera that has the following features for highest security:
- wired Ethernet (POE is nicer)
- no WiFi nor Zig
- speaks ONVIF
- ruggedized
- 4K
- powerful infrared LEDs
Cannot believe one does not exist.

Not quite at the "TAKE MY MONEY" point yet.
1. manufacturers don't actively support genocide (rules out anything involving Dahua, Hikvision, Huawei, as IPVM has described extensively), are allowed in the US (look up the Secure Equipment Act of 2021)
2. has a nice large sensor (the 1/1.8" models are great, but see point 1)
3. supports open source firmware (none of them do AFAIK)
4. reasonably affordable (surprisingly, this part is not the biggest problem)
5. nice-to-have: has an NPU for on-camera analytics (there are cameras with this but mostly from the genocidal manufacturers...)
The best I've got is GeoVision. No open-source firmware, sensors aren't as large as I'd like, no NPU, but relatively decent otherwise. https://github.com/scottlamb/moonfire-nvr/wiki/Cameras:-Geov...
edit: actually, some of these 6MP Hanwha cameras look promising. Several say they have 1/1.8" sensors. Not cheap though, and no eyeball/turret form factor.
- VLAN support
- MAC-layer encryption (802.1x)
- FOSS software
- Common Criteria compliant (logs remote accesses)
- TPM v2 (Linux Trouser)
- No remote firmware capability
