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.

It's a trade off between video quality and bandwidth but you can set the ffmpeg parameters to the bandwidth you want, more or less. If you have 2mbits up you can do ok. Motion detection can help if it's for security and not much is happening most of the time.

10 is the low upload for me. So this might work just fine. Not sure on setup but I definitely want to get it done soon as possible. I just don't have much time between work trips. So I need a rapid solution.
