Hello everyone,
First off, I apologize if my English is so-so, it's my 2nd language.
I'm a bit intimidated by the level of expertise I see here, being a total n00b to this... I'ts obvious that this is THE forum on the Web to get solid advice.
I checked the Wiki and searched the forums but I'm still confused, sorry.
I'd like to offer my brother a Xmas gift: a way to stream a bird feeder 24/7 exactly like Cornell Lab does, from his cabin near a lake.
Here's a few details of the situation
Thanks for any advice or resources I should read!

I'd like to offer my brother a Xmas gift: a way to stream a bird feeder 24/7 exactly like Cornell Lab does, from his cabin near a lake.
Here's a few details of the situation
- This is in Quebec province, so expect hot summer (max 86 F), cold winter (min -22F) with frequent rain and snow
- The feeder is pole-mounted, approx 3ft from the nearest exterior wall
- The cabin has a roof overhang so the cam could be mounted to that, or to the wall
- There is AC power available via an outdoor outlet on the side of the cabin
- However, it's not possible to run any cable from outdoors to indoors
- Night vision would be really nice, in case any critters cross the field of view at night
- 4K would be nice but not a deciding factor
- The wifi at the cabin is around 120 Mbps
- I guess I'd need a dedicated laptop to pick up the signal and broadcast it?
- I'd prefer a solution based on Windows rather than Mac because that's what I'm familiar with
Thanks for any advice or resources I should read!
