Any suggestions for a Wi-Fi ipcam I can use as a baby monitor? (programming.dev)

I currently use Frigate as an NVR for my outside cameras. I would like something that integrates with that. I really just care that it is fully local. I don't want a chance of someone on the internet being able to access a camera in my baby's bedroom.

Fair enough. I don't have any first hand experience to offer. But I think I read a test of baby monitors in some consumer magazine a while back. As far as I remember few of them were good. Maybe you got one of the several bad models. My friends have some audio only monitors. They fail safe, you immediately hear static noise once the connection gets interrupted. But yeah, they only transmit a few hundred meters because it's radio signals. It's not like an IP cam where you can watch your baby from another continent.
