Home Depot (VAN) has both the ~$25 and the ~$37 models in stock. I
bought several last week. They are a remarkable bargain and the
performance is way above the price. Go for the ~$37 model as the picture
is better and has many more clickable features...

I saw a review of the Wyze security camera that was pretty positive
on it. It's dirt cheap ~$26 at Amazon. I was impressed because of all
it packed in for that price, but I'm not really in the market, so I
didn't pay a ton of attention.
Sorry, but I can't give any more in depth info. Looks like it ticks
most of the boxes, but it's not open in any way, I believe.

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

the raspberry pi camera is probably to be your best bang for buck. I've
used it before in building some farm automation prototypes. For indoor
use fixed location it's perfectly adequate. Just screw it to a piece of
plywood and setup an RTSP server on the pi. you don't need a web
browser just a media player.
