You don't need a "smart camera." You need a computer (Windows only, though Wine works on Linux/Mac) and a webcam.

Yawcam (Yet Another Webcam) is a lightweight, free webcam software that’s surprisingly capable for an IP camera setup. I tested it as an affordable solution to turn an old USB webcam or simple IP camera into a basic monitoring system. Here’s what stands out: Python : import requests from datetime import datetime

const http = require('http');
const url = 'http://192.168.1.100:8081/out.mjpg';
http.get(url, (res) => 
res.on('data', (chunk) => 
// Process binary JPEG frames (parse multipart boundary)
console.log(Received chunk size: $chunk.length);
// Real implementation: extract JPEGs from multipart data
);
);

Tip: Use mjpeg-consumer or mjpeg-proxy NPM packages for easier handling. cURL : curl -o snapshot
