I’m looking at dusting off my motion setup. It was an old setup to monitor what my pets are doing in the house with a webcam.

However, I need cameras outside to monitor my gardens and the webcams are not really usefull for that (for one, the’re not waterproof and USB cams)

I try to look for stand alone cameras, but can’t find a good test of them. (probably user error) Any tips on good, safe, cameras for outside? (pref poe, wifi when it can’t be avoided, not battery powered)

Thanks in advance

      With “stand alone” is meant a camara you can use without suplier software (at home or in the cloud).

      I just want a camare that I can use with motion. (unify has local software, but still you need their software as far as I know)

      I think they mean a cam that doesn’t need to be plugged in through usb to work, like an ip camera.
