I did exactly this with BirdNet-Go and my Unifi doorbell cam. Unifi exposes an RTSP feed for each camera so it was easy for the tool to just "listen" to the doorbell and start classifying.
I have a spare e-ink display and my next weekend project to follow onto this is to wire it up so it shows some faux "woodcut" images of birds detected, or something like that.
I did something similar with my BirdNET + e-ink screen, it's pulling images from wikipedia, dithering and rendering a summary with PIL.

Also if anyone is interested, here is the server for the e-ink screen https://github.com/koryk/inky-impression-server
and here is a MCP for birdnet that I've been using for a bit https://github.com/koryk/birdnetpi-mcp-local-server
Love your eink example! You’ve just sent me on a parts shopping trip :)
I’ve been unhappy with my little lcd board I’ve been using for the same here https://github.com/simonjgreen/OpenObservatory as the contrast is bad. I was considering using one of my trmnl displays, but it isn’t quite the right operating model for the frequency of updates I want.
The e-ink display with woodcut birds sounds like the perfect final form of this project
just use trmnl it will make it super easy
I like my money to not go towards transphobes
I like my TRMLN it has been very solid.
