I like the Wyze cameras. Read about them here a couple years ago and got one. If you have electricity to the coop they have one that needs plugged in. If you don't have electricity they have a battery operated camera. Price is very reasonable. They have one that needs plugged in for less than $25 dollars. Wyze says that camera is not for outside use but I have 4 of them outside that have been through 2 Montana winters and are going strong. Some I put in a case to protect them and some are protected by eaves or are undercover in the coop. No monthly fee unless you want to pay for the extras that would provide. I don't bother.

I have a blink. $35 at best buy. It requires power and WiFi coverage. If you want cloud storage you need to pay a fee. I don't pay any fees so I can only watch the live view. Mine is an indoor version. It is in the coop out of the weather so I think it is fine. They do have a outdoor version if you want something that is made to be outdoor.

It has a microphone so you can hear what is going on. Also you can talk to your chickens if you want.

For the inside of my coop I actually use a cheap baby camera which does all the things everyone else says theirs does but I'm able to make it move and look all around the coop from my phone which is nice because you're able to adjust it whenever.

Wow! What brand do yo have?

Sorry for the late reply I just got home from camping, this is the one I found at a local store
Graco 1080p Baby Monitor Security Camera at Menards https://www.menards.com/main/p-7720120058391249.htm
I just took off the bunny ears and stuff. If you search on Amazon for pan tilt security cameras a bunch will come up it seems like security cameras like these are pretty much all the same.
