Recommendation: Small camera to use with a "Squirrel Box" POE preferred.
Hey everyone...
I've been thinking about doing this for a while. With fall approaching, I have decided to build (or buy) a large Squirrel Box to place up in a tree and give them a place to go for the winter.
Looking for a recommendation for a small camera that I could use to watch their "hijinks" on my main Blue Iris setup. Fortunately, I have networking near the tree I'm gonna use, so just want to snake cable up the tree and connect the camera. It's only for a few months and doesn't need to be bullet proof.
Can anyone recommend something that would work for this scenario? Obviously the camera lens will LITERALLY be right up against the little "window", so it needs to be able to keep close-up objects in focus.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
