Is there a way to have an easy to set-up security camera system without the cloud? (sh.itjust.works)

I have Nest right now and Google changed the parameters when they bought it out. It not only got way more expensive, they won't show your video or picture history at all unless you buy a subscription. Nest would show 24 hours worth.

I want to add another camera, but I'm now willing to eat the cost of a new system and not have to depend on the cloud. We're not a super techy household though. Is there an easy way like the nest or close to that easy?

Edit: These are outdoor security cameras

Frigate is likely the closest, but is a techy thing to setup

Yeah, this is the type of thing I've seen where people talk about self-hosted security. Thank you, but that's over my head and I'm the most techy in the household.
