Wireless Webcam Recommendation Requested


We have a family of house finches nesting on the awning hardware on the deck and thought it would be fun to point a webcam at them.

It would need to be reasonably weather resistant (it would be under the awning but outside the house and, preferably, battery-powered.

Any suggestions of a moderately-priced device would be welcome.

Wireless and battery powered do not go together. You can get a lighter-sized spy camera for $100, it is battery powered, will run a day or so before needs to be recharged, motion activated.

Thanks, Emerson. As you can guess, I'm unfamiliar with wireless cams.

There is an outside outlet; how about wireless?
