What an awesome idea! Was thinking of doing raspi craziness for capturing birds out my window.
Why do that when you can duct tape an old phone to the window lol
There are apps for turning old phones into dashcams and security cams, too.
Why waste an old phone?
Not the same but for a more pro approach and allowing to stream to a RTSP Server I use LARIX Broadcaster, which is both available on android and iOS and it's just superb to turn an old phone into a camera, ofc you'd need an other software to actually detect movement and such from the RTSP feed. Scrypted can do that (for example)
GPS, accellerometors, gsm, battery, usb. A cheap usb breakout board and youre all set. Meanwhile try to by this for your raspi
Have you used this before? This looks great - much lower overhead than what I was doing with a Pi, USB camera, and motionpi
I have, but limited usage. Just for monitoring the dogs when I'd run to the store or something. I've had it bookmarked for years in the event one day I needed it for something.
