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
Yeah I have a couple of them and 2 poe injectors so I figured I’d try that way
Motion is also really useful for capturing security camera footage. It’s more specialised for this task than ffmpeg so could work here
