I’ve got a server running Debian and I’ve previously borrowed a wildlife cam for my garden. It activates on motion and records, has night vision, etc…
That said the only way to get the footage is to go out there and pull the SD card.
Is there a self-hosted approach to this? I don’t know what weather-proof camera setup people like for this sort of thing.
Most of the cameras like this that I’ve seen have an app that lets you transfer the photos too. The issue is that you need to connect to the camera with Bluetooth, which then turns on the camera’s wifi for the full connection. The apps do this automatically.
I’ve been wondering if there’s a way to run the app from a computer, and connect to the camera through that, but I don’t know how you’d get it to wake the camera to allow the wifi connection.
