Amcrest IP4M-1041B + Home Assistant (www.amazon.com)

Hi,

Is there anyone using Amcrest IP4M-1041B with Home Assistant? I've a few questions about software and integration.

From what I hear, this camera can be setup 100% offline, connected via cable to any computer and by using a built in WebUI the camera has, is this true?
It offers pan, tilt or zoom. Does it work really good with HA? Can it be operated without any Amcrest software / internet connection?
The features above allow you to set preset locations, can that be done on HA / WebUI / without the Amcrest app as well?
Does it really operate all features offline and is it reliable? Eg. motion detection works as expected / doesn't miss events?
What's your overall experience with the camera? Does it compare to let's say a TP-Link tapo?

Thank you.

More or less the same setup, only I used the frigate HA integration to access the feeds. Was very nice up until the machine running frigate cooked the nvme.
