Old cameras but they have been sitting.
What can I use to record and ensure the data is saved locally. Nothing serious, just chickens being accused of hurting plants when they are monitored. I just want to catch whatever it is (deer? Etc?) eating it so I can have evidence it isn’t them
I see the camera has PoE, will you use that and connect to the camera over a local network? If so you could just record the stream with ffmpeg
Motion is also really useful for capturing security camera footage. It’s more specialised for this task than ffmpeg so could work here
Yeah I have a couple of them and 2 poe injectors so I figured I’d try that way
