What is the best camera for this task - under $200 (if that's possible)? I have access to WiFi. T.I.A.

Unifi cameras are awesome. Bullet cams are about $150 and dome cams about $130. Weatherproof, 1080P resolution, supports POE (so you only have to run an ethernet cable from your POE comptaible switch), has a nice mic, and includes native cloud connectivity.

Think more about what website you will host this on, and how you will get the feed to it.
The website will need the stream in a certain format, and you'll need to make sure your camera can support that format.
For example, the UBNT camera recommended typically only streams RTSP and doesnt have a web-interface to manage the settings of the stream. They are used more for NVR systems with only UBNT gear.
Sony/Axis would be first choices if you are going for quality camera, components and interface. There are knock-offs however but put more emphasis on the website than the camera > then find a camera that will work.
