Hmmm, an RPi with a camera might well work. The problem there is more the amount of work I’d need to do - I haven’t got that kind of time right now.

An honest answer that it’s not currently easily doable is in and of itself useful.
This is a “nice to have”. I figured I’d ask preemptively so that I didn’t go down a blind alley. Thanks!
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.
That essentially boils down to “build your own solution”, which under my current circumstances amounts to “don’t do it”. Not that I lack the skill or will but the spare time and energy I have is used on my baby daughter. I can’t justify rabbit holing on something like this.
It’s why I created this thread - to see if there’s a software and hardware combo that solves this with minimal additional work.
WiFi would be easily sufficient. We’re talking a distance of 10m from my router, tops.
I borrowed a camera - it’s not the one I would be using for this.
That’s why I’m asking. I haven’t bought anything yet and don’t want to get the wrong thing.
That would be possible, yep.
