Affordable IP cameras available online at low prices.
I’m searching for affordable IP cameras you could connect, aiming to capture footage for a NAS. I’d like to know how to link multiple cameras together and set up motion detection, along with some guidance on setup videos. From what I’ve gathered, using a single camera with its built-in software might be simpler, but an all-in-one solution could offer more flexibility. Videos showing multi-camera configurations and live feeds would be really helpful.
I’m not familiar with that, but consider building it yourself using a Raspberry Pi Zero W. It’s a budget WiFi Linux PC that you can connect to a 1080p camera module. You can also purchase a USB Ethernet adapter and a cable for around $3 on eBay, or a wired camera for about $11. The total cost comes to roughly $16 for the complete setup. If you prefer a non-WiFi model, the regular Raspberry Pi Zero costs $5, and a wired camera adds another $6, making it about $11. You’ll still need an enclosure, but dome-style covers can be adapted to fit real cameras and are inexpensive. See the video for more details.
