Indoor cam with Home app integration

I need some hive mind help.

I just moved and decided to ditch Google/Net and go full HomeKit since Google keeps discontinuing all the Nest products.

The one thing I cannot resolve is my indoor cameras. I bought the Aqara G100, and while it works fine I get notifications every 3 minutes even though I have set it to only notify when I’m not home and only notify when animals are detected… but everything triggers it - motion on the TV, people, shadows from trees outside, lights turning on/off … Last night I was gone just under 2 hours and received 36 notifications! it’s too much

Home app also doesn’t seem to allow me to view the event history… and tbh if I wanted to have a separate app for my camera I would have just kept my Nest cams as they have been great for many years.

The only thing I need is barking notifications… Mom’s 2yr old dachshund is pissing off the entire HOA and I need to know when she’s on a barking spree.

Can you all recommend a reliable indoor camera with native HomeKit functionality and reliable sound trigger notifications? This is for my 75yr old mom so workarounds via desktop software are not an option for this.

Thanks in advance for the help!
