Hello all:
I want to stream 24/7 onto my youtube channel FLAMINGSHOWONLINE - which was recently set up.

Whatever camera I use will need to be 100 feet from the enclosure to my garage where I will keep my laptop I will stream from and where I have access to my electricity.

My budget for this is not big. I've tried using a Reolink IP camera with PoE but could not get it to connect. Had Reolink support and tried on two computers and an iPhone and was never able to connect to the camera and could not get the IP address.

With this said, I could run a protected, heavy duty power supply out to the enclosure if that's what it takes to make this work. I prefer using CAT6 with PoE. Need the camera to be modestly priced.

Any and all ideas/recommendations will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Carol Stanley

Any IP security cam, like the Reolink, should work. I'm not sure why you weren't able to get its IP address. You should be able to look in your router's list of DHCP assignments to find the IP address. Usually the manufacturer will have an app of some sort that will find all cameras on the network, and you should be able to get the IP address from that. But if that fails for whatever reason, you should be able to get it from your DHCP server.

Another option is just get a regular camera (not IP, not security camera), if it doesn't need to be PTZ. You mentioned an enclosure, so I assume the camera doesn't need to be weatherproof.
