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 fit i possible to buy inexpensive CCTV systems with an HD+ DVR and cameras for not a lot of money.
PoE means one single cable to the camera instead of one for data and one for power.
If cameras go inside, normal ethernet csbles can be run for PoE or can use WiFi and local PSUs instead. It depends on what is easiest for you.
Whichever means you should be able to watch in realtime. Tthere are also kits that can be built from Pis/SBCs that can be built to act as cameras on your network.
