And it is $20 for the base unit. The PAN is $30.
I have the WyzeCam2
Holu shit! That's tough to beat on pricing against most competitors! How long have you had yours?

I have two of the older UVC Micro cameras from Ubiquiti. They are wireless and the only ones that exist any more are wired. But we use them for the kids rooms and have the NVR running in a VM.
-
The NVR let's you draw the area you want to record of motion happens. No idea how other systems work with that.
-
I have 4 of the UVC 3 running on an Ubuntu NVR. Really solid. I also have a Raspberry Pi running a 4x4 matrix of these cams hooked up to my TV. Programmed a button on the Logitech remote to quickly switch to that input to get a quick view of the outside of the house if need be, then back to regular tv. I also have the Unifi video app on a cell phone to access any recordings needed. Caught some punk kid trying to pee in one of my bushes. They are all mounted under my soffit's so they stay out of the weather and the night vision isn't terrible either. I have had this setup for close to two years.

Going to take a quick look at em, do these also work for the outside?
Not yet weatherproof. But they have that in planning accoring to their social posts I found.
Ok, so not the intended goal I had in mind, but for $30 bucks it isn't a bad solution.
I'm seeing a USB cord, I assume this means USB to a power block. Do you like the power options? Any option for PoE?
Strictly powered from USB.
Which would mean where-ever I want this unit I would need to have an outlet within so many feet. Hrm. .
There are inexpensive PoE to USB adapters around you know. I've been using one of these with my RPi3 for around a year now.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MDLUSE7/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1Did not think about converting. Good point. @DustinB3403 can run PoE, and convert. Then later when he wants better cameras he already has the infrastructure.

Making an acrylic enclosure is not hard. Also, there are several Camera enclosures you probably could make work, with a little work on your part.
