There are, but the market is rigged by monopolists. And things like banks increasingly require apps that won’t even run on customer Android ROMs easily.

I’ve done a thing with Kamailio and Baresip and MQTT and Linphone on my phone so when someone presses the door bell button, I get a video SIP call from “doorbell”. But other I think are doing things with HomeAssistant, go2rtc and Frigate. I just didn’t like it so went my own way. Would love to have done my own Signal client that wrapped RTSP, but it wouldn’t be allowed on the Signal network, but Linphone is ok. Video SIP is standard at least.
