So I wanted to set up a camera that surveys every few second and a doorbell with a sensor where I can see the person when someone rings it.

I wanted the camera and the doorbell are placed separately, so the camera can act as a surveillance camera also.

Can anyone suggest how should me set up this?

For the server, I was thinking wifi that connects to the camera and for the doorbell maybe mqtt that also connected to a monitor.

Edit:

I asked a friend to help me rephrase this. English is not my first language.

Basically I'm trying to make a surveillance camera that captures images of the person who triggers the doorbell.

Can anyone suggest on how I would go and start this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My idea is that the doorbell is connected and delivers the output to the MQTT server, triggers the camera as the camera is subscribed to the doorbell and takes the images and is sent to a monitor that has been set up in my house.
