I will highly appreciate any recommendations you might have to spot the occasional hedgehog roaming our small garden.

I got as far that people like generic ip PoE cameras such as from reolink and set them up through syncted. I havent gotten to such a complex configuration, but i have a mac mini m1 with docker at home that i can run as a server if needed.

Are wifi cameras a no go? It would save me to drill through walls.

I've used the eufy cams that support HKSV and they have pretty good night vision with motion detection. Currently swapped over to the Nest Outdoor Cam with starling hub and I feel like that would give you a clearer picture.
