I initially bought one POE IP camera from ebay and my suspicions were
raised when the MAC address was listed as owned by Cisco. The unit was
using bootlegged software which was rife with security holes, so be
careful.

Not saying what I eventually bought was pristine, but I have had good luck
with SV3C cameras with POE and H.265 codec support from Amazon. I set the
URL to be a standard VGA resolution on stream0, and the high res URL to be
on stream1.
netcam_url rtsp://192.168.10.128:554/stream1
netcam_highres rtsp://192.168.10.128:554/stream0
I set "movie_passthrough on" and I used a pgm file to mask out the time
displayed by the camera to avoid false triggers (the camera supplied
timestamp looks better than the timestamp from motion). My CPU use on a
fanless brick type unit is under 2% for two cameras. No password seems to
be used or necessary for rtsp. As I was advised on this list I am careful
to match the frame rate for the low res URL to the rate the camera is set
to.

No, It has to be battery powered or self-contained. It?s on an arm that rotates
around a subject. It?s an art piece.

Does anyone know of a good wireless (WiFi, could use BT if necessary) camera
that is battery powered?
We are in a remote location with NO external / cloud service. Purchased a GoPro
to use, but the WiFi they use only uses their app in full 4K, and it?s not real
stand alone; it apparently synchronizes with their web. I was told it?s low
resolution video only even on the older GoPro?s.
Can you not get an ethernet cable over and use Power over Ethernet? PoE works
up to 100 metres.
