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.


You can get a WiFi or LTE trail cam that essentially to works the same. If you get LTE though, you’ll almost certainly need a VPN setup on your network as well to work around CGNAT issues.
WiFi would be easily sufficient. We’re talking a distance of 10m from my router, tops.
