Default Small Capacitors: What Numbers Critical?

I've got a couple of IP cams where the same cap failed.

It's a 15 uF, 100v radial cap spec'd to 105c.

But I'm having fits trying to find a replacement where they don't rape
me on shipping.

Can I shop for something with slightly different specs?

i.e. is 100v just an upper limit beyond which the cap will fail... and I
could replace it with a 200v or 300v cap?

What about uF? Do I use a 20 or 30 uF at my own risk?
