Can anyone recommend a combination of hardware/software/host for webcams that I could point at some heavily trafficked backyard bird feeders? I’m about to enter a period of reduced mobility and would love to be able both to keep watching and share the joy.

(edit: ideally, something that can stream publicly as well as be viewed in-house)

@parsingphase I have recently been looking at ESP32 devices, so ofc I thought about that first  

But more realisticly you could look into getting a camera server (with file storage, or seperate file storage, if you wanna watch what happened before), it could just be a old computer or like a NUC.

And then get some (preferably wired) ethernet cameras with good enough quality for your liking to set up and use with the server.

I have seen these servers remotely cast both live feed and recorded footage to a phone, using a home-hosted website, an app, or something like that.
