Gonna put up an ip camera in the garden and see what wildlife comes by at night.

Cable was for free (perks of the job) I only use reolink ip camera’s for they work perfectly well without cloud (i’m self hosting frigate).This one is an rcl-510A. It’s only disadvantrage: you need to use their app once (still no cloud required) to activate web and rtc etc. I always buy from their refurbished deals.
Nice, I use Amcrest cameras with Frigate and I’ve been happy. No app, no cloud, and I have them on a VLAN with no Internet access.
I’m just trying Frigate again for the first time in a couple years, it still seems really bare of features compared to Blue Iris. I guess I’ll keep playing but getting object detection working has been a chore, and the PTZ controls are rudimentary. I really want to get rid of the last Windows install in my life, but it isn’t looking good.
I assign all iot like stuff (printer, camera, ap’s ikea gateway, shelly, etc etc) an ip in 192.168.1.192/26 range in my dhcp server and block that range from internet access
Same, Amcrest cameras just supply an RTSP stream and Frigate likes that.
And get a good PoE switch, it’ll save you so much headache vs other power options. If you’re using solar cameras, make sure you have enough capacity to handle extreme events (around 3 days with storms/cloud cover is a safe margin).
Research the security issues with network manufacturers before you decide on which to buy and try to buy from as direct as source as possible (not Amazon, they comingle their inventory). Supply chain attacks are a fact of life and network hardware is a prime target.
Is there and outdoor cable you would recommend?
Not really, this is just what I got (can look up brand/type if you like)
