I’m a bit too late to the party, but i will tell you about what i use.
I use a wireless IP camera from Reolink. You can use any camera really.
Then I purchased a license for Blue Iris, so i have that running on my computer downstairs.
Blue Iris is so under-rated. Its really good, there’s a setting for anything you can think of and quite advanced motion detectors.
Hell, it can even detect license plates!
One of my go-to’s are programming, i rarely play video games these days. I go for walks once in a while haha
As im writing this i have come to the realization that i am a boring person.
