Hello,

I could use some recommendations for an IPv6-enabled IP cam to replace my aging Reolink RLC-410WS. It still works, but its long since out of support, and I'm trying to retire the IPv4-only IoT devices at my house. (Good luck, I know! Baby steps.)

This cam is a outdoor "pet/kid/wildlife/weather watching" cam so ultimate optical performance and security isn't needed. Currently this cam uses a separate power supply, but a replacement could be PoE with a suitable injector. Wired Ethernet would require drilling and additional equipment, so I'm trying to avoid that if possible. WiFi performance with the current cam is acceptable. I don't record video from this camera, just stills that are assembled into a time-lapse video on another server.

Main requirements are:
  • IPv6
  • WiFi, 5GHz capable preferred
  • Standalone, no NVR required
  • HTTP API for snapping a frame
  • Good nighttime performance
  • No issues with sunlight directly on the cam (faces west)
The Reolink remote access capability is really nice but I am not sure that sort of thing is common in this class of camera.

Thanks for any recommendations/questions/etc.!
