720p or 1080p wireless/wired/PoE IPCamera with FCC-certification has been on the market for a few years, at the price range of 30ish dollars, you can buy IPCamera modules for about $10 from vendors(mainly in China) and reprogram with your firmware as well.
RPI-based camera is great to learn stuff, but to make a product-like devices, there are too many to choose on the market already, cheap and easy and most likely more robust.
Isn't ip-camera a solved problem?

- ausjke 6y agonot really off-the-shelf, you have to find the module sellers but yes it is do-able.

Not if you care about: - image quality, most of these 10$ camera modules have "sensors" that only work halfway decent with good lighting and are little more than static noise at night - general build quality, expect issues with the power supply or at temperature extremes - security, there's no OpenWRT or equivalent for these, so even if you make your own firmware you're still responsible to keep it up to date yourself - no "advanced" features such as a back-up battery, durable (!) on board storage and a wireless fallback in case there is an attacker who simply cuts the cables
