Good day to all
I rent an apartment in a municipal building and the residents are not always positive - often fights, scratching cars and the like.
I would like to hang a camera looking at the courtyard.
There is a free router Asus WL-520gU stitched in dd-wrt and usb screw.
Interested in which camera to choose - preferably on a budget and to be friends with Linux?
What software to use - with a screw reset and preferably with a web muzzle?
Thanks in advance for advice

What software to use

motion

As an option, buy a DVR with a motion detection recording function. This is the dumbest and easiest way to implement.

Look here. Budget, software, web muzzle, rye, wheat, that's all.
Offlink on AirVision. Everything is free except cameras: www.ubnt.com/airvision

Camera Logtech C100, C110, C170, etc. (so that it supports hardware compression and does not load the router in vain)
Video on routers is usually obtained using mjpg-streamer.

When I had a similar task, I bought a DVR for 4 cameras and one camera with night illumination
, here is the registrar - www.aliexpress.com/item/free-shipping-4-channel-H-264-Full-D1-RS485-PTZ -Phone-Monitor-network-Motion-Detection-cctv/476427255.html
here is the camera - www.aliexpress.com/item/free-shipping-420TVL-1-3-SONY-IR-ccd-camera/457060572.html
For money well within your budget. Screw stuck there from old stocks, 160 gigs is enough for 3 days.
Of the benefits
- a standalone device with network access, there are programs for androids and iPhones to view pictures from the camera
- if necessary, you can add more cameras if you need to look somewhere else.
- night recording - it already came in handy when teenagers rented a room from a neighbor at night.
Of the minuses
- access from browsers only from IE.

Another option - I once bought a Gembird CAM77IP www.almodi.org/komplektuiuschie/setevoy-glaz-obzor-ip-kameri-gembird-cam77ip
There are no batteries, but in fact an autonomous system. Can upload pieces of video or photo to an external service. For example FTP.
The Java interface works from any browser. The only resolution is not a fountain 640*480, but the sensitivity is quite good.
Here is an example of a video www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmcR7BzzOnA - the dude clearly did not have optics configured, I had a clearer image.

Buy a cheap IP / WiFi camera in China, for example, on dx.com within $ 70 and the ability to send snapshots of detected motion to an ftp server, which you can raise on your router and store on a USB-HDD. If you are interested, I will give more specific examples, I myself bought an external camera with IR illumination and an internal controllable camera with wifi and lan channels at about the indicated price.

The Zenith IP camera is perfect for organizing a video surveillance system, both outside and inside the premises. I use the Zenith E5 model at home: www.techport.ru/katalog/products/kompjuternaja-teh... It records with an image resolution of 1280x720, it also has Wi-Fi, IR illumination, motion detection, night mode and etc.
