It looks like SLAAC and RDNSS is supported by most modern OSes, including android.
It’s definitely much more painful currently, but no reason you couldn’t have your router broadcast RDNSS. Then in your routers local DNS registry associate IP camera at ::aac::eda3::1 to ‘ip-camera-1.internal’. In theory about as easy as configuring device at Mac ‘de:fe:34:21:00’ is set to IP 10.0.0.5 and host name.
In practice granted it looks like a PITA right now. Searching google hardly yields helpful or easy tutorials on this stuff. Many home WiFi routers are pretty behind too. Though pi hole looks to have some support for this stuff.
I wish DNS options were easier or better for configuring for small networks.
IMHO IPv6 can be pretty nice but really needs saner defaults and better software support. No wonder IPv6 has taken so long.

In theory about as easy as configuring device at Mac ‘de:fe:34:21:00’ is set to IP 10.0.0.5 and host name. I don't see how it works. RDNSS is purely unidirectional and doesn't affect the assigned IPv6 addresses.
