Never thought about it before, but I can set up motion capture from my #RaspberryPi cameras through #HomeAssistant. Especially with my #Hue motion sensor in the back. Takes the load off the Pi's if I was to do it on the cameras.
@benoit_badrignans Found they didn't meet my needs, there was always an issue I ran into. I do it all myself, wrote a python script for the stream and use home assistant to do the recordings

Had a similar thought with my old pi3 and cam kicking around.
Use local motion sensor data to trigger the camera and move that logic onto the server backend turning the pi into a dumb input feed that can be triggered as you see fit instead of "always on" recording.
Maybe I can get some footage of all the deer who keep insisting my grass and garden are the best place to eat at night 😒
@noflcl I also have mine always streaming, so I can see what's going on outside, but this does require at least a pi3 or more. I have a fox that visits and someone else's cat, excited to see if it picks either up.

Yeeeeah we have a neighborhood cat that loves to tease my dogs and all the dogs which is glorious at 2-3am.
Thought about this motion sensor / camera combo to trigger a smart valve for my sprinkler to train the cat "I get wet when I get too close to this house" 😅😻
