Rtsp camera reccomendations?

hey all, i know this may not be the best place to post this question but it is related to home assistant and i am unsure of anywhere else that may have good suggestions to my question,

i have got a chinchilla cage and have set it up with some cameras (spare reolink doorbells) but i am looking for a good upgrade, i recently brought the E1 outdoor cx reolink camera for its full colour night vision feature and its tracking but due to how close i keep the cameras to the cage (to avoid showing much of the surroundings) it led to the picture being heavily out of focus, so i am looking around for any camera recommendations that include the following:

-must be wall mountable
-must open rtsp to connect to home assistant (and obs for streaming)
-must have colour night vision
-if possible has zoom/pan so when streaming the camera can be controlled to pan and zoom to the chinchillas
-if needed has methods to focus so it wont be blurry while being so close to the cage

like i said I’m sure there is a better place to ask this but this is the best place i can think of putting it now, if anyone has any suggestions for cameras or other places that might help it will be appreciated

(here is a reference to the current quality using the doorbell cameras 10 inches away from the cage on a diy wooden pole


)

thanks a lot!!

I’m having pretty good luck with the Eversecu line of camera’s. Most of them do ONVIF/RSTP and have the features you are looking for. Quite affordable also.

is there any one in particular you might reccomend?

For indoor use this little puppy for $20 is great

it seems pretty difficult to get in the uk (ii should have mentioned to begin with) and i cant see anything about it being full colour night vision but i will keep it in mind!
