Private WiFi camera for out of town viewing. Live view only. No storage.
Is there a WiFi camera with an app for viewing when away from home, that has decent privacy? Plug and play would be nice. Limited time to do major setup as in 2 hours tops. Cost is fine nothing into 4 digits. Recording not neccesary. No storage is needed. Simple live viewing is all.

Reolink and one other I can't remember seem to be the most consistently recommended hardware (actual security companies rather than cheap Chinese hardware rebranded by hundreds of drop shipping start ups). They only need internet access for the initial activation, and can be connected to home assistant or ftp server. I created an account with an alias email, then blocked its internet access from the router. It works fine on LAN and via tailscale.

NOTE: these wifi cams are not a "security" system. They're for basic monitoring and scaring your cat.
I will check this out. I need it today. So I'm not sure if this is possible. Its very short notice. I had an unexpected trip.
