I am looking for a sub $100 POE Camera for a front door of an office. It’s only function is to be able to see who is at the door. We have frosted glass doors so the receptionist would like an iPad or some screen to have a live view to see who is at the door. would be nice if it recorded 24/7 just in case we wanted to go back and look at that angle, but we have other cameras setup for motion recording so recording is not a big priority. I set up a Wyze cam with a POE to USB power adapter for less than $50 and it worked fine but now the app cuts out sometimes due to office wifi not being reliable. I really wish Wyze had a POE camera, that would solve that connection issue.

My first idea was just a usb webcam to a laptop and open windows camera app, done. but I don’t have an elegant way of running the usb cable. So a POE “something” would be best as there is an ethernet close by
