Gonna put up an ip camera in the garden and see what wildlife comes by at night.

Edit: job completed. Frigate is pulling the stream…

    Same, Amcrest cameras just supply an RTSP stream and Frigate likes that.

    And get a good PoE switch, it’ll save you so much headache vs other power options. If you’re using solar cameras, make sure you have enough capacity to handle extreme events (around 3 days with storms/cloud cover is a safe margin).

    Research the security issues with network manufacturers before you decide on which to buy and try to buy from as direct as source as possible (not Amazon, they comingle their inventory). Supply chain attacks are a fact of life and network hardware is a prime target.
