Okay...thank you for the confirmation.
TraderGary:
I've decided to try setting up a webcam.
What webcam are you currently using, George?
galfert:
My camera is an old one that needs to be replaced. I recommend Amcrest (for those in the US).

I've set a few of these up for clients. They are a Dahua clone company.
TraderGary:
Amcrest has IP cameras from 1 Megapixel (720K) to 8 Megapixel (4K).
Is it best to get the highest resolution 4K camera?
galfert:
That is really up to you in how else you are going to be enjoying the camera through local access. For online Internet image upload the image needs to be reduced to at most 1080p I would say. The good news is that you can always reduce the higher resolution prior to uploading via various methods like ImageMagick or other software. For example the Meteobridge offers built in support for ImageMagick when you upload to the image to Meteobridge.com. Or you can just reduce the native resolution of the camera.
