Goal: Configure an IP Camera as a webcam to use over ZOOM, Google Meet, etc.
Hardware: Aukey VT-CM1 (I have not purchased this yet. It is available for $10 locally), Windows 10, Wireless network capable of dual band transmission up to 200 mbps depending on the band. A wired ethernet connection is also available.
User Level of expertise: Very little. I have modest experience with Windows based operating system. I have no experience configuring IP cameras; I've never owned one.
Additional Information: Our family uses ZOOM regularly to spend time with each other across the miles. Sometimes there s a group of 5 or more in a room in my home that are part of the session. A laptop based or external USB camera has been far from practical. I tried configuring my phone as a webcam using DroidCam and the result was less than optimal; while video quality was good, the feed was very choppy and delayed.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Preschool - Novice Questions
- Is the Aukey VT-CM1 any good for what I'm trying to accomplish? I want to stay away from anything very expensive.
- I like the idea of setting up an IP or other wireless camera by my new 58" TV and leave it there. Am I asking too much of an indoor IP surveillance camera configured as webcam?
- Do you have any software recommendations?
I look forward to hearing from you.
