In reply to Solanum. I didn't tested it, but pyAlarmGuard (open-source) seems to perform this task. It is available in github at https://github.com/echo-devim/pyalarmguard. Please let me know if you test it, I'm interested on what it can do

Thanks for this tutorial. I used to install https://motion-project.github.io/ on Debian in the past. What I miss is something similar that can detect sound during the dark hours in order to eventually activate an infrared camera. Is there something similar for noises? In some environments I think that checking for sound makes more sense and saves energy and processing power compared to an infrared camera 24/7. This might also avoid most false positives due to small animals if the alert is triggered over a certain decibel value or after a certain number of noises.

Thank you for this tutorial Peppe. I spent few days to make it working, until I find this. Well explained, and works great.

Bruh. Thank you so much for this write up. I tried a handful of other options and my cheap Freenove camera simply would not detect. After following your guide and adding one extra line to config.txt to add the imx219 camera (which I also had done in the other attempts), everything works mint. Thank you!

Thank you so much. After many frustrating attempts to make my project (motioneye on rp_zero_2w in combination with a camera_module_3) work I was close to giving up.
Accidently, I stumbled across your post. I gave it a try and, what can I say, it works. It just works!
Thank you so much again!
