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

That was my idea as well, wall the device off, don't let it escape it's vlan, but allow it to answer internal traffic. I want to use motion to capture activity, preferably including animals. (WAF, she likes to see what animals visit at night)
