I’m a big dum dum, how hard would this be to setup for a daily shot of a plant growing?

Not hard at all. Looks like it comes loaded with a webserver and a way to set time lapse from a browser. There's cheaper ways to do this like an ESP32-CAM if you don't need PoE, but that involves another layer of complexity via a UART adapter and using something like the Arduino IDE to upload code to the board.

Thanks heaps for the reply. That’s awesome news! Being Poe makes it easier in my mind but I’ve defiantly gone down a bit of a rabbit hole since this turned up in my feed. If I can wrangle this one I might be frequenting here more fun stuff.
