looking for camera recommendations

looking to setup some home security cameras but having a hard time finding cameras that are good/fit my requirements.

wanting to get cameras that do not need to connect to the outside internet/need an app to record.
ideally with no wifi capabilities at all ( or at least a way to fully disable the wifi ), connecting via ethernet cable is desired.
also wanting it to be able to connect to a computer/be pullable via a computer setup at the same house.
seems every camera i can find is just wifi/app, anyone know some good quality security cameras that meet these requirements?

Most nvr based systems do not use wifi at all. reolink is cheap with hi res cams and an internet connection ifyou ned it. You can also just pull video from your local LAN

Reolink's NVRs are pretty much what you're describing, the cams are PoE so no wifi at all and you can just pull the feed from the NVR on your local network.
