I want to setup a camera monitoring for my house and some rooms. I need to bee able to view the cameras remotely and and also do recording if possible. I could find some camera brands like dahua cams but having briefly tested them they. Seem to rely on acwmtralized cloud and proprietary visualization software.

What are you recommendation? This is not a professional setup I would at max have 3 cameras.

If you have a few old Android smartphones lying around, check Haven

Good way to reduce ewaste.

That works until the battery puffs up and cracks the screen. Phones don't last long when plugged in 24/7. Also keep in mind that WiFi cameras can easily be jammed.

I tried this in the past and it does not seem a good option. Letting a smartphone record 24/7 would make it melt maybe.
