This sounds like a great meeting topic and presentation.

I researched this a while back and came to the conclusion that bunch of
raspberry-pies with their basic camera + cheap plastic case combined
with
millions of free usb chargers laying around is the way to go. It all
costs
less than $70 per camera and you can manage them, without any cloud
spying
and extend as needed even outside to the interwebs.
That or ask one of the three letter agencies for their existing feed.
It is
taxpayers paid after all.

Hi,
I'm looking for suggestions for a web camera for monitoring a senior
that is living in our house. I'd like to be able to switch to a tab
in
my browser and check in on them. I would also like to be able to do
the
same from a phone on my local wifi. I suppose this effectively a baby
cam.
Here are the features I think I want, but this will be my first camera
of this type, so feel free to point out the error of my ways. Of
course, I reserve the right to ignore good advice.
Simultaneously stream the video to two or more places (two people
doing
the monitoring).
One way audio to hear requests for help, and to be sure the TV is
still
working. Two way audio might be nice, but I'm not sure I would use
it.
Local-only network operation, or at least the ability to shutoff
internet access, and confidence that it truly is off. Access from
outside the local network is not required (there will always be a
caregiver at the house).
POE if possible to simplify wiring.
Wide angle lens
Night time operation, but any infrared lighting must not interfere
with
IR remotes.
Motion detection might be useful, particularly at night, but I'm not
sure how I would get an alert without needing some sort of phone-based
app.
I don't think I need the ability to record.
I briefly looked at some of the Unifi cameras this afternoon. I'd be
willing to spend at that level if the performance justifies it.
thanks for your help,
galen
