I'm a retired software dev. Before the pandemic I hadn't coded in 4 years, but somehow got the itch. One of the things I've been playing with is pointing a security camera at my birdfeeder, but I'm not so interested in clips of boring brown sparrows. Instead I want clips of bright red cardinals and bright yellow goldfinches. So I wrote some python opencv code that reacts to color changes: https://github.com/ctrager/opencv_py/blob/master/red_yellow_...

This is working for me with an Amcrest camera, but I also got a Reolink E1 thinking it supported RTSP and felt cheated when I learned it didn't. I'll be playing with Neolink the rest of the day. Thanks.
