BB's thread about his issues with his wildlife cameras got me thinking about a unit I got for free quite a while back and didn't even plug it it, it is USB. I think I may just use it as a security camera in my apartment even though it is really designed for a car. It seems to be made by an outfit called "Keep Truckin".
I have yet to do anything but to plug it into my main system via a front USB port but it worked right away and was detected automatically to the point that I was able to setup import folders. The unit itself has 1.16 GB internal storage. Since it is really designed for a vehicle it has two cameras. One of the first tasks will be to turn one of the cameras off if possible.
If I can get it figured out and I like I'll mount it on top of the hood of my aquarium which is a corner and close to a powered USB hub under a chair next to the tank for power. I would not want to mount right with my computers as, in case of theft, it would also probably be taken. Putting on the tank it would give a wide angle view of most of my apartment's main living area including the entrance and most of my media wall along with putting it sort of "out of sight while in plain view".
Problem right now is to get a full manual and their app. The mini manual states the site as
https://keeptruckin.com but that seems to redirect to
https://gomotive.com/ where I have not yet found anything useful. I'm likely to find what I need by searching but have not yet really tried. If all else fails there is a support phone number.
