I need a couple indoor IP cameras for my home, so the other family in our nanny share can check in when the kids are over here. I've got a pretty thorough home network set up, so my ideal device would probably be something that serves up a stream over HTTP that I could just proxy through nginx with HTTP Basic Auth. Wifi would be ideal, PoE might be doable (I'll have to double-check how many ethernet ports I've got in the living room, I've already got my Ubiquiti AP plugged using one).

I've been fooling around with a Pi Zero W + camera kit but may find the result unsatisfactory (assuming I can make it work at all)

TP-Link Tapo cameras support RTSP out of the box and don't require a subscription. Basic ones start at $20

Thank you, I ended up at the same conclusion yesterday, ordered the cheapest one to try it out. I'll try to remember to report back on how well it works.

The camera showed up, I interfaced it with Zoneminder, it seems to be working fine so I've ordered some more.

I've been fine with the basic Aqara motion sesnor: https://www.aqara.com/en/product/human-motion-sensor/. Same use case as you, motion-detected hall light, connected to Home Assistant via ZHA.

Edit: There's also a newer P1 model, but I don't know what difference it makes.

I have one of these in my living room, programmed to turn on a lamp when there's motion and the light level is low. Works great.
