  I’d like this to not be on the public internet, as general hygiene, really. Putting a weak little camera out there where it can be easily caught by an ip/port scan and get hammered seems neither smart for the device itself nor for the network it’s in.

    I use a Reolink camera for this purpose. Its not self hosted but it’s solar capable and doesn’t need an inbound firewall rule.

  Probably a direct link to the home network so the camera looks like it’s on the same network.

  I’ve thought of and tried this for my VR headset to my home in a similar manner. The VR headset will only stream from my gaming PC if it’s on the same network and so I’d hope to use a VPN to tunnel into my network when not at home to play remotely. I’ve not gotten this to work, but this sounds like a similar hope for OP with a camera.

  It’s not always about hiding only payloads.

  Although if you are wireguarding to your home IP you’re still not really hiding the destination.
