Smallest POE security spy compatible camera

in Cameras

I am looking to expand my nature camera empire to a bluebird box.

Does someone have experience with a small camera - pinhole is fine but small dome probably ok - camera that works with securityspy?

i would want poe or at very least cabled (no wifi only).

I have looked at what some of the bird sites have and none look suitable.

right now best i can figure is a reolink or amcrest dome mounted inside top and build box tightly around - but hoping to do bit better than that size wise.

    I know that the Green-Backyard Bird Box camera works well, however this could be UK only. Axis modular cameras are great if you don't mind the cost, the external box, and can supply your own separate lighting. Otherwise, some of the Dahua mini dome cameras are nice and compact, for example the N43CN62.

    This one works fine if you want to save some money. Doesn't help in the "small" department but it is somewhat compact.

    I use the older Axis M1054 cameras and I've mounted two in birdboxes (top down). They have FANTASTIC features - adjustable light, IR motion detection, speaker, microphone, and they're POE. Resolution isn't fantastic but good enough. I use the motion detection and speaker and flashing light to set up automatic shrieking alarms when I notice that starlings are starting to take over a nest box.
