IP cams that work with PrusaConnect

Long-time Octoprint user here, recently upgraded MK3 -> MK3.5 and checking out PrusaConnect. My Octoprint was using the old ribbon-cable RasPi camera which obviously won't work directly with PrusaConnect so I'm looking for options.

Has anyone tried anything like these mini wifi "spy" cams?. There are dozens to choose from, most use a phone app to view the video stream but I'm wondering if any of them are compatible with PrusaConnect via RTSP/RTMP or whatever protcol it's using. Something like this would work great as a print monitoring cam.

Would the USB-C port on the buddy board work for powering something like this, or is it a data-only port? I believe the Core One uses the same board as the MK3.5/3.9/4, and that is somehow powering the Buddy3D camera through USB, how does that work?
