All I want is a simple indoor camera to mount in the sidelight window of our front door so my wife and I can see who is knocking or rang the doorbell from our computer without going to the door. I plan to use the camera tool that comes with Windows or some simple app to view only when I hear the doorbell. I'm very good with computers and networking.
Thanks,
Features I want
Battery power that I don't need to recharge more than once a month
WiFi connectivity to our household network.
Something I can mount with screws and point out the window
Extending battery life with camera-based motion detection would be nice. (ie only transmits WiFi when motion is detected)
Affordability ($50 - $100)
Features I do not want
Continuous recording (I don't need recording of any kind)
Notification (If I'm not home I'd rather just not know someone is at my door)
Home assistant integration
Cloud uploading
Integrated software
Monthly subscription payment
Person identification
Outdoor capabilities
Night or low light capabilities
Audio features
Ultra high resolution (1080p is enough)
Ultra wide angle lens (110 deg or more is fine)
Zoom
Pan/tilt
