I am looking for an IP PoE camera. The thing is, it must work out of the box with something like ONVIF or at least give video stream right away.

I don’t want to run any proprietary apps on my devices, including JavaScript web apps hosted by the camera.

Do you know of any that can be just plugged to the network (would run it on VLAN) and automagically appear on Home Assistant, iSpy or Frigate?

ONVIF needs a user with username and password, you will need at least a web interface to add it to the camera. What’s the problem with a web app hosted by the camera?

Most of those are propietary and unnessesary exist.

Pretty much, it’s going to be secured on VLAN and firewall anyway. Can be a preconfigured password, a pair button.

Can be a web interface, but one that does not send me an app compiled to JavaScript to run and those are hard to find there days. Can be even an SSH connection.
