[Cialug] Android > Surveillance Device

[Jared Brees]

I 2nd the WyzeCam recommendation. Definitely get the microSD card for it, otherwise you will only have ~12 seconds of video until the motion stops for a bit. (so you might see a figure entering a home, but nothing after that).

I've used IPCam on Android with Zoneminder, though, but I think that's overkill for this purpose.

Wyze V2. $25 on Amz. Easy setup, great video, mac and android apps, motion sense snaps. Can record to SD.  Me happy.
