I want to create a service where I would sell IP cameras in addition to other IoT elements for home. What I am looking for is a low cost camera that could be managed through MQTT, and could route the video stream to a content server (for storage and viewing) It must connect through WiFi, and preferably support 5GHz band. I am not looking for cloud based closed systems ( I've seen a lot of them) because I want to have my own integrated experience and not depend on another vendor. I googled many places but couldn't find anything acceptable. Any hint? Regards

I've got new information and would like to add to the thread before closing. There is a standard called ONVIF that does what i want to do. If you ever have to hook up cameras through IP, ONVIF seems the way to go. Thanks to all

Besides... I am not looking into iAnything because of what you said: 1) they are expensive, 2) the company who manufactures them is painful to work with. And also because they are a small minority in the market that really do not impact figures if they do not buy a service. BR

irt : this requires a management company ….. subscription/ bank details / names address can only be done via a data company There are companies that handle the payment for a fee. Some of them specialized in mini or micro transactions. My knowledge of the customer mostly will be a name and a customer ID. Payment is managed by the company and they take care of all the personal information, fingerprints, credit card numbers, bank accounts, etc. The only thing I need to knnow is that customer "someid" paid "someamount" "someday" and go from there. Thanks for the pointer to Arlo. O'll look into it. BR

Thanks for answering. Service is for the homes. not to be run from my home. IoT part is the easy one. Privacy is OK. My quest is for camera devices. Unfortunately I cannot afford, at this time, to develop a camera or retrofit a new firmware on an existing one. That's why I am looking for an open camer that I can suite to my purposes. BR
