I'm looking for a simple camera to monitor a bit of equipment. I want to be able to have a quick look at it from my phone or windows PC (could live without the PC option). All on the same home network, no need for recording, notifications, pan/tilt, internet access. Obviously cheaper is better but reliable and easy to set up would be good. Any recommendations? Wifi or wired, also needs to be happy being turned off and on.
2nd hand Nest cam or similar off eBay - no need to sign up to the monthly plan if you don't need recording.
Loads to choose from, most are linked to existing platforms like Nest, Google, Amazon etc. Choose one linked to whichever of those platforms is best for you to reduce the number of apps and logins you need. Ultimately all the products are the same and do the same more or less. Also most if not all will require a subscription if you want the footage to be retained and stored on whatever cloud service they offer for future reference.
Neo Cams are £30 each (used to be £25/pair but seem to have upped their prices) and work well...
