I dont have a vps though currently. I do have a webcam. No idea how to set it up to or viewing and to run 24/7. I can port forward though and am pretty network/software literate.
If you have enough upload bandwidth I guess you don't need the vps.
How much we bandwidth we talking? I have the top package internet I can get in the area.
It's a trade off between video quality and bandwidth but you can set the ffmpeg parameters to the bandwidth you want, more or less. If you have 2mbits up you can do ok. Motion detection can help if it's for security and not much is happening most of the time.
10 is the low upload for me. So this might work just fine. Not sure on setup but I definitely want to get it done soon as possible. I just don't have much time between work trips. So I need a rapid solution.
If you currently have an IP camera setup, add Tailscale to your network with the Subnet Routing feature enabled.
You can then access that camera from anywhere.
Optionally also enable the Funnel feature, and you won't even need the Tailscale client.
