Ok so i thought id ask what you guys think is the best options for a security cam. I tried some cheapo ones including building one myself but wasnt happy with the results. So can anyone recommend something solid that doesnt neccesseraly need some monthly payments? Night vision is a must and it should also be reachable via ip adress. Also small size and wide viewing angle are a plus. 

"You know it'll clock down as soon as it hits 40°C, right?" - "Yeah ... but it doesnt hit 40°C ... ever  😄"

 

GPU: MSI GTX1080 Ti Aero @ 2 GHz (watercooled) CPU: Ryzen 5600X (watercooled) RAM: 32GB 3600Mhz Corsair LPX MB: Gigabyte B550i PSU: Corsair SF750 Case: Hyte Revolt 3

I am using a Reolink E1 Zoom and I am quite happy with it. It has 5GHz dual-band WiFi and has very decent image quality for what it is.

No, its free. You also get the option to use the desktop as well.

as far as i get it, the e1 "non-zoom" doesnt support access via ip adress? i really dont need the zoom would just like to be able to connect it to my Zoneminder setup (survaillance software)
