A new-ish project for a replacement firmware for Ingenic based cameras is here https://thingino.com/ . The developers are super active and very responsive.

I love firmware projects. It's not just about the security. Manufacturer's own software is often clunky, slow, and sometimes requires browser plugins (!!!). The hardware is usually OK, it's the software that makes these products horrible.

what happens if bandwidth is expensive and/or not reliable ? Being able to summarise data and make decisions at the edge without having to consult 'home' every single time is very useful. Perhaps I only want to collect 'interesting' data for anomalous events.

This has some of what you are after ? https://www.tikstation.com/product/mini-power-station/

Oh, indeed. But the price point is crazy, that thing is more expensive than a Raspberry Pi.
