Again I am appreciative. I am adding a third question. Given the importance of this task to me and the non inclusiveness of some other options i. e. my main phone is a land line, and my cell a flip..how much am I willing to pay a more devoted person to configure the raspberry pi after gathering the materials? The situation motivating my finding such a tool may mean a fair amount to the right talent. On Mon, 15 Apr 2019, Alvin Starr via talk wrote:
Building your own camera from the ground up is good if your into hardware hacking.
You may get more millage from buying a cheap camera and replacing the firmware.
The Wyze Cam mentioned has a project called OpenIPC
Amazon has a DCS-936L (about $70) that claims to have push notifications and if you look through the manual (
ftp://ftp.dlink.ca/PRODUCTS/DCS-936L/DCS-936L_REVA_MANUAL_1.02_EN.PDF
) you will find that it has a place to send the motion detected snapshots.
Once again you will be asking yourself questions.
1) How much work do I want to just for the pure joy of doing the work.
2) How much work am I willing to do to save a few dollars.
3) Do I care if Amazon/Apple/Google know about my home camera so that I can use their app on my phone.

Clifford! That seems amazing! Thanks for providing the resource. what is nice about it, as far as I can tell, is that once the steps are followed things run on auto pilot...might only need help once. Thanks, Kare

Would I be guessing correctly that the hard wired option does not need Ethernet, simply powered by electricity? Also, from a prior note does not the ip camera include something to direct the data somewhere? The video analytic idea might help, teach it to ignore me opening my front door, but flag anyone else. My sense about ip cameras is that something must control the camera. Alvin's idea about uploading footage to an ftp caught my attention because that process might be straight forward from a screen reader standpoint. I cannot monitor the footage, which is why I am hoping for a notification process.

again a dictionary question, what is poe?
Power over Ethernet. It used power from the network switch, carried over the Ethernet cable, to power some device, such as a camera. I use it here to power my WiFi access point.
