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.


Are you buying a cam or borrowing the same one? If you are borrowing again, you know the model? That will help us give better advice.
I would be buying. The cam I borrowed wouldn’t fit the setup I want, I just mentioned it because I want that functionality but without the hassle of pulling the SD card.
So far it doesn’t sound like what I want exists, unfortunately.
