Getting the hang of it

I’m going to install a tablet inside my home to view the camera that is installed at the front door.

I don’t need two-way audio, only video. I’d like something that, once configured, is easy to use — just turn it on and the image would already be there.

Could you give me some tips?

What do you recommend for installing indoors to view the camera at the front door?

Actual camera: IPC-HDW4433C-A
 
I want to avoid being one of those people that just suggest a completely different solution

However, I also wanted what you wanted and struggled to find something that really "just worked" and in the end, I got Frigate setup with near-instant critical alerts for action at the front door, and that kind of nixed the need for the tablet

Thank you for that, I really want something that alway on so see outside before open the door.
 
I also use Frigate added to Homeassistant OS. I connected a speaker I can hear easily. If someone drives into my driveway, cam see car and honks horn on speaker, walks near door, speaker plays a doorbell chime, camera sees a dog...yep speaker barks. Also plays siren with a tornado warning issued.

An Amazon fire tablet in the size of your choice works fine.
If I hear something from outside, I want to glance over and see it in real time.
I've been using two old Fire Tablets for 6-7 yrs now to view cams, they run 24/7.

How do you connect your tablet to camera? Blue Iris? Or are using other app.
