Thinking about the access resource/logistics for livestreams of a webcam from a -e.g. wildlife cam- at a particular time of day, the view from the bench
Having sought out advice from my dad, I am researching where I can gain signal access to the internet and wifi...whether that be the hub, a dongle, can I get a battery powered camera, can I live stream from a wildlife cam?

I must ask!! I have found a website showing live streams of wildlife in the garden from a wildlife-lover and environment education teacher who lives in South Wales. I must ask and follow up about how she does this! Especially as she is so local.
More e.g.s:

IDEA: SOUNDSCAPE CREATED TO BE PLAYED ALONGSIDE LIVE STREAM LIKE THIS SUGGESTED SPOTIFY PLAYLIST....IS THERE A WAY OF GETTING A METAL ENGRAVED PLAQUE LIKE QR CODE FOR THESE BOTH??
Must contact Clare Unsworth for technical advice on how it is done!

Yes- I had a quick look myself yesterday and the easiest way would be if you had access to internet for sure. Loads of cameras and equipment out there X

So do you think it possible if I, say, use a wireless wildlife cam...would I be able to rig up to a live stream from the app....like you have?

Yes I think so, it looks like it’s something you can do to You tube….but I’m not up to speed on how you do it, but I’m sure it would be straight forward enough.
Ah amazing. What is the name of your wildlife cam and what would you recommend?
Ours isn’t a wifi version – it doesn’t need to be a wildlife one, you can use an outdoor one like a cctv type camera that is waterproof. Does it need to be battery powered, mains? or there are also solar powered cameras.
Ah okay! I thought you mentioned having a wildlife one with an app...I seem to remember? What is the best, affordable one I can look for? Ideally I wouldn't use mains as I don't think I would be near a building....solar powered could work.
Saw this – Wilko have it cheaper but it could do the job if you can link it up to You tube….
WANT TO FIND OUT IF CAN GO TO YT^^






UPDATE:
As only over 3 days live streamed and at a certain time, can be battery powered wildlife camera....want it to look like perspective of looking over people's shoulders...where to mount it? from bench? greenhouse?
To ask: if access to wifi I can connect and get a signal and put my computer nearby...
Youtube uses software encoders to connect the camera to the live stream section on yt, e.g. OBS Studio...just need to figure out how to connect the camera to the computer...this interface!!
Dad is helping me to find a camera to use and a microphone to attach to my phone.
Update 6/03/24:
Having brainstormed with Dad again after finding out no wifi zone/still in process of finding out, discussing QR codes with my website link w/ youtube livestream embedded in, and actually the low-cost and most obvious option of using my phone with a tripod say at 13.09 over the three days for an hour, rather than spending a lot on expensive kit, I have a lot of thoughts to mull over...
