Looking for POE nest cam

[MicahJames]

Hi all,

I have a POE+ line ran out to a great place for a bird nest/cam but i already have a box built and ready to go. I really just need to know if there is a good POE camera available to purchase solo that has that perfect wide angle + close focus already good to go.

All these pre-builts are $150+ and run off solar/wifi which i would like to avoid.

Thank you

If you can find a Sercomm RC4551 on eBay, go for it.
It's 1080P, POE, IR, close focus, RTSP, has audio, works with VLC or Blue Iris, has an embedded webGUI.
I've got one in a bluebird house for almost 3 years now, as below.

Go to eBay and search for "Sercomm RC4551".

Build your own bracket as in the 2nd image below with plumber's tape.
It's not waterproof but in a sheltered birdhouse, should be OK.
I've had one in a bluebird house over a year now.
I installed a small heatsink on the back to help with our 90 degree summers.
Go here to see what I did and I also turned on several other forum members who purchased it, like @th182 , @IReallyLikePizza2 ,
@looney2ns ...

Almost forgot: if hard pressed to find the Sercomm RC4551, it's kin the Sercomm OC432 will work well. It's also 1080P, audio, RTSP, POE, IR, works with VLC and Blue Iris and has an embedded webGUI. it may be a tad harder to mount with its single rear screw but plumber's tape can work miracles in the hands of an imaginative person!
