I'm a software developer that's looking for a camera with specific features that I can use to build some software on top of. Specifically;
Nice to have but not essential;
I'm in the UK and don't really want to spend more than £50 on this.
I've had a browse & search around the forums and see a few brands and models recommended pretty consistently, eg dahau/amcrest or hikvision - however I'm having a hard time a) finding them for sale in the UK, and b) determining which cameras would support motion detection events like I want. Some cameras list themselves as supporting ONVIF but don't really specify the exact capabilities. Motion detection events is an optional capability of ONVIF IIRC, so I don't think I can assume all ONVIF cameras will do what I want can they?
Can anyone recommend a camera that fits what I need?
- RTSP (or similar) mechanism for transmitting a live stream
- Motion detection events, eg, via ONVIF Profile S or MQTT or something similar; I want the camera to tell my software when it detects motion
- Wifi 2.4Ghz necessary but a 5Ghz option would be preferred
- Good enough night vision to catch my dog sneak onto the sofa at night
- Happy with being locked off from the internet at the firewall level - none of this mandatory cloud/phone-home nonsense
Nice to have but not essential;
- mic
- PTZ
- Weather proof in case I want to put it outdoors some day
