This is what I do with raspi04:
This Raspberry Pi is a Model B Plus Rev 1.2 that is mounted in a case with a Raspberry Pi camera. I have this mounted on top of a tripod that I have pointed out the front window so that I can watch the weather when I am downstairs in the Man Cave reading Hive posts. I am running RPi_Cam_Web_Interface software which creates a web page that I can view on the local network. It can record still images or video's and can also do motion detection triggered video recording.
