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 uploaded the picture… yet it didn’t show on my end
Amcrest cameras have a RTSP stream open by default. If you know the camera’s IP address you can just open the stream in a media player, like VLC, and set it to save the stream to disk.
Also, you could probably save the stream without viewing using ffmpeg.
