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 any decent security cameras and if powered through poe then you need a poe switch, feed that into a PC with frigate for detections. I use unifi poe cameras and a dream machine pro which does the same thing but if I learned about frigate before I probably would have gone that route
