Hikvision and Dahua make a lot of cameras but I wouldn't call them the major OEMs, that would probably Ingenic, Goke, HiSilicon, uhhh Sigmastar, probably others I can't recall. If you're looking for one outside the PRC, Novatek is based in Taiwan.

This is pretty much exactly wrong. Dahua and Hikvision are by far the largest OEMs in the industry. The other companies you list are SoC vendors only.

Doesn't Ingenic just make the SoC? For example, Wyze cams use an Ingenic T20, as do a lot of no-name cameras.

I feel like a few of those are SoC and not actual cameras
