Looking for a Camera to Stream Live Video to my Laptop

    Im looking for some sort of camera that can be easily paired with a laptop (ideally wirelessly) in order to be able to stream what the camera is seeing onto the laptop. Its for work purposes. I with machines and some parts are difficult to get access to and it would be much easier to place a camera into these hard to reach areas and see what what the camera is seeing in realtime on a laptop screen outside of the machine. Would also like to be able to record in slowmo and transfer videos to the laptop, again wirelessly is the ideal scenario so I dont have to keep setting up the camera.

    Is this relatively straightward and can anyone recommend a camera for the job? Can a GoPro do this or do I also need an app?

    I might not have phrased this correctly. I want to use the camera it as a webcam, i.e. see what the camera is seeing on my laptop.

    GoPro can do this to the app; not sure to a laptop. There are probably cheaper options though. Is there a minimum size does the camera needs to be?
