I'm looking for a plain, inexpensive, indoor IP camera to use with
Motion, and not having much luck.? Seems like every camera for sale
nowadays requires you to download an app for your phone and create an
account on some Chinese web site.? What I want to do is configure the
camera on its web interface, assign it a static IP address, and use
Motion to monitor it.? I don't want to create an account nor download an
app. Picture quality is not important. Bonus points if the camera is $30
or less.
Does such a camera exist any more?? Can anyone suggest one?
Thanks, David

If you search amazon for "d-link dcs-934l", those are what I have a few of.
It can be wired or wireless.

If you do not want video and are ok with say 2 fps Jpegs and then some of
the reolink cams actually have good quality. They do not work on video
because they use UDP and as such lose packets and cause artifacts. This
is an outdoor POE cam, image size is 2500x1500 or so, and quality is pretty
good using jpegs. these are rlc-410-5MP and can be had on amazon for $96
for 2, so under $50/cam. I have 6 of them and other that not doing video
they have been cheap, good image quality and reliable. Some of their cams
require their NVR system, so you have to watch the models and read the
descriptions. I have motion grab the images at 2fps and the quality is
good and they have decent night vision.

I use a Raspberry Pi zero W. It has wireless but you need a power source.
You can see the camera output and I also run Apache on it to create it's
own website of motion captured pictures. (Colours are a bit odd as this
one has the camera module without an infrared filter.)

It will cost a bit more than $30 but it's a Linux computer so you can
configure it as you like.
