Any progress on a 'plug and play' camera solution?

Just wondering if there is any progress to a simple plug and play camera solution to use with the MK4 and PrusaConnect. I do see some references to ESP32-Cam, but that does not support either LAN connection, or USB to the printer. My printer is on a secure LAN, with extra connections available. It is not under WiFi coverage and I want to keep it that way. Also the path to purchase such an ESP to become a camera,  program it etc. frighten me to no end. I am not an electronics hobbyist and I do not want to become one. Absence of WiFi also is why the 'old phone' route is not an option.

I just want to know when I will have the option 'MK4 camera unit' in the Prusa E-store, please. If that is only the electronics, fine. I will be happy to print the housing.

I too would like to see a plug and play solution.  I am not technically savvy enough to build the esp32 camera, I have tried! Please Prusa make something for us guy's!

If you want to monitor your prints then a webcam on an old raspberry pi is a cheap & easy option.

Cheerio,
