Hey there, can anyone please guide me / tell me about a good tool that
can use my old laptops cam (currently running Ubuntu server on it) and
make it accessible to me and perhaps record it to a locally installed
hard drive.

Motioneye docker container, but the only issue is it doesn’t support
audio. If you do a search there’s a bash script and a command you add
to each camera that fixes that issue though.
