Is there a WiFi camera with an app for viewing when away from home, that has decent privacy? Plug and play would be nice. Limited time to do major setup as in 2 hours tops. Cost is fine nothing into 4 digits. Recording not neccesary. No storage is needed. Simple live viewing is all.

Buy a cheap wyze camera (theyre like 20 bucks) and put wz_mini_hacks on an SD card. Its very easy.

Thanks for mentioning Wyze.. looks awesome.

I ended up with a shitty Arlo set that I overpaid for, and the worst part is that they no longer sell the station where you can save video to the local network, meaning I'd have to pay for a subscription

And then setup an rtsp aggregator (there's some foss ones that are lightweight all the way up to fully functional nvr like shinobi) and make it local access only and vpn in
