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

I’ve had a good experience with Reolink PoE cameras. They do RTSP and ONVIF and integrate well with Homeassistant.

    Yeah, that's what I'll go with in my house, with frigate in HASS and a Coral TPU.

    I think coral is not current and hard to get but I don’t watch too closely. Seems to still work! Reolink on camera detection is decent enough for me.

    I had the coral already, and for the purpose it works pretty well. Still have to see how well it handles 11 cameras. The reason I need the TPU is because the recognition is done by frigate, not by the camera.
