Suitable webcams for displaying progress in the webui?

@Martins and @fma - Got my Pi Zero W / V2 Camera all set up and it is showing up on DWC. Are you doing anything to control when the camera is on or off? starts / stops recording?

For now, my picam is powered with a AC-to-USB converter, and all is switched-on switched-off at the same time with the main switch.

I didn't check yet how to start a timelapse or a video. I will ask MotioneyeOS dev if it is possible through a GPIO input.

@martins:

another solution here is Raspberry Pi zerow or rpi3 or any (zerow+cam = cheapest option)
all you need is to install motioneyeos https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki/Supported-Devices

after you connect to you network with it , just open IP asigned by dhcp for you
log in username admin password empty
