IP camera and smart/electronic/biometric door lock buying advice.

[ch@ts]

I want to install an electronic/biometric door lock on my main door. I was considering buying something from Yale, but then I saw that Yale and Valencia are owned by the same company, and am now thinking of getting a Valencia Hola door lock. A Yale/Godrej lock costs about Rs.20,000 and the Valencia about Rs.9000. It looks sturdy, and has good reviews. I was wondering if anyone has any experience/thoughts about it. There's a 10% additional discount with a citi credit card on Amazon till the 30th, and I plan to buy it before then. Any input would be helpful.

I also need to buy a security camera for my lift lobby. I want something that works without the internet. I don't care about recording capabilities. I'm looking for a camera that I can assign an IP address, and visit it in a browser, on my private network, and see a feed. Everything I look at now has an internet feed, and an app, but I don't want that. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone?
If I buy an Mi Home Security Cam can I view live video without the app, through my local LAN? I don't want it to connect to the internet.
Is there any camera that will allow me to view a live feed on any device on my network?
I think I've found a solution. I'll use a USB extender over Cat5 and connect a webcam at my door to a Raspberry Pi in my living room, and use that to stream video to a webpage.
Now, I just need to figure out how to stream video from a webcam to a webpage.

[...] want something that works without the internet

I've been also searching & couldn't find such security camera at online stores ...

perhaps it'd be better to explore for a raspberry PI / Arduno based camera
or use a dedicated smart phone for the requirement ...

Ubiquiti has Unifi Protect series of products. They work locally, can use them over internet. But they are quite expensive.
