Best affordable webcam/security camera for use with MagicMirror?
-
I have a couple of blink cameras scattered around the house (they were freebies) but it doesn’t look like they’re particularly compatible with MM (or Home Assistant). I’d like to get a camera or two to put outside so I can see what’s going on around the house.
Does anyone have any recommendations for cameras that aren’t too expensive but which play well with MM (and, ideally, Home Assistant)? They need to be outdoor cameras.
A web interface would be nice too.
Thanks!

I use Tapo they are cheap too. They are RTSP able and I use them with MMM-MPlayer on a dedicated PI and one camera pops up on my main PI with the other 50 + modules using Sams pages module. They are also PTZ camera’s I think I paid 16 for the cheapest one and like 38 for the most expensive one. I have 3 of them and 5 Wyze cameras but only 3 that are RTSP able.
Just my 2 cents… -
