My solution would be a fake birdhouse. It could be weatherproof and less conspicuous, and the hole on the front is a natural place to put a camera lens. (You might want to put a fake bird on top or something to dissuade actual birds.)

Assuming it’s attached to a tree, how would you power it?

If I _had_ to put it in a tree, PoE or solar+battery would probably work. In my tiny yard I could probably get away with a regular outdoor extension cord.
