From a newbie standpoint I would love to have a centralised thread with user experience on cameras, you guys have years of experience reading everything homey, but for someone that is starting this would be great.

As of now I’m looking at adding some cameras and the info on ip cameras and their use and compatibility is very limited (not bashing on anyone, love the great community) and I’m a bit lost.

If someone added to this thread say the wyzecam 3, amazon blink mini or similar it would save a lot of fishing through different super long threads where they mention as a side note that X camera won’t work via IP because it doesn’t have whatever.
