Instead, I set up "Open Camera" (which has a setting to keep the screen on >> while the app is in the foreground) and I set up wifi screen mirroring onto >> my PC screen over the lan (which enables remote camera shutter control).
This works as a closed circuit camera with shutter & video controls.
But it's not motion activated - which is the only flaw I can think of.
Do you know of a motion-activated camera app that I can test out for this?
No, I don't know anything like this. But a Raspberry Pi with Camera
module and "MotionEyeOS" may be the easier option. This allows to
configure motion detection and also automatic uploading of images or
video clips to a server.

There is even an app to access devices running MotionEye servers:

I wanted to set up a spare Android 10 device as a semi permanent closed circuit camera connected to power inside the house and package-taped
securely to the corner of a front window so I could see the entire
driveway where the mailbox, front lawn & [parked car is in plain sight.
I looked for free apps without ads but I couldn't find any apps that didn't require an account on the Internet (which is not needed for my purposes).

I did get the IP Webcam working but it doesn't detect motion. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pas.webcam
