Are there any indoor cameras that can be monitored on my PC rather than a phone app? Same building not when I'm away so it's a local network. I've seen the Blink Mini and TP-Link Tapo but they are app monitored, something like them though but with a PC view.

Nothing stupidly expensive it's only for dog monitoring.

Most Reolink or Foscam cameras can be viewed on their own Windows app. Both manufacture good quality hardware and software.

TP-Link don't send traffic to China, which is a bonus. You can just stream the camera into VLC or similar on Windows, or use a third party app.

I've gone with a TP-Link camera but they had an Amazon Echo Show 8 on sale so I got one of those to go with it which I'll have next to me easier than opening and waking up a phone app and it's fully Alexa compatible so it'll be on the Echo screen. Plus I'll get some use out of the Echo too.

Thanks.

Ring cameras are viewable via a browser, also fully Alexa compatible. Looks like you’re sorted but just thought I’d add another potential option
