Donyou use a camera in your coop?

How many of you use a camera in you coop? If so what do you use? Is it expensive? Do you have a link? Do you like it? I want one but there are so many to choose from. Thanks for advice in advance.

I use a Ring camera, but it is expensive - at the time I was looking for one, it fit all my criteria (battery powered, live feed, wifi, designed for outdoor use). Wyze is probably the most highly recommended camera on here, and relatively inexpensive to boot.

Hows the live stream? Is it clear at night and day?

It's okay quality... at least enough that we can usually ID all the chickens even at night (as the camera is pointed at the roost). Sample screenshot below, which was saved at a little lower resolution than the actual footage since I was just trying to make a photo for an article:

It's the Ring Stick-Up camera w/ battery (as I don't have electricity in the coop). Though I'm sure by this point there's a newer or upgraded version, as mine is a few years old. Hmm, looks like the price has gone down too.

For set up you need a smart phone and a wifi connection that'll reach to the coop.
