Looking for suggestions for a camera that meets the follow requirements:

Small-ish size. Think the size of a desktop webcam.

Powered via USB

Connects to wifi & works with Blue Iris.

And has your standard 1/4" camera mount threading.

I have a litter robot 4, that can use a USB webcam. I guess "use" is a very figurative term as it seems it just supplies a USB port for power, and an optional mount and that's it. No viewing, motion alerts, nothing.

Wanting to use blueiris so I don't need any third party clouds or integrations. Seems everyone who currently uses it uses a wyse cam or blink cam.

The Amcrest IP2M-841 meets all that criteria, best as I can tell.
It's BI compatible, has a 1/4-20 female threaded insert in the bottom and is powered by a 5VDC USB wall-wart.
It comes with a USB Type A male to USB micro male cord, about 10 feet long and is furnished with a UL-Listed 5VDC @ 1.5A adapter with Type A female USB connector.
If powering from a USB port you may have to use 2 ports and diode-OR the output to get the current you need; specs say power draw is <7.5 W.
I've got 4 of them.

The Wyze V3 meets the criteria but you'd need to use one of the ways to get the RTSP stream out of it. The mini hacks using self-hosted mode is probably the best way. They're kinda meh in a lot of ways but for something like that should be OK and not much money spent.
