Re: [Motion-user] Cheap IP camera

[Alan C. <mot...@cl...>]

I use a Raspberry Pi zero W.  It has wireless but you need a power source.

You can see the camera output and I also run Apache on it to create it's 
own website of motion captured pictures.  (Colours are a bit odd as this 
one has the camera module without an infrared filter.)

It will cost a bit more than $30 but it's a Linux computer so you can 
configure it as you like.
