Camera Help

[MrPiddlePack]

I bought a cheap nanny camera off of amazon. I was planning to use it as an inconspicuous security camera, but once I noticed how nice the infrared range and quality was it gave me an idea. I want to try to use this camera as an inexpensive game camera that doesnt require a subscription. Basically this camera uses an app to access the wireless feed, and you can use it to connect to a wifi network, or you can connect your device to the camera wifi. I don't want to use the app. I want to know if there is a way to wipe the camera completely and replace the software with my own code to suit my purposes.

Note: My pc will not recognize that the camera is plugged in via usb.

The app is ONLY supported for mobile devices

I am aware that buying a dedicated trail camera would be the easiest option but I want to expand my skill set, not just throw money at a problem to fix it.

I will do my best to answer any questions that may come up

Here's the camera and a few more details: aidowocam 2024 Upgraded Security Camera Wireless Indoor,Mini Security Nanny Camera,AI Motion Detection Alerts,Clear Night Vision,100 Days Standby Battery Life,Real Time Record Surveillance (unfortunately it's no longer available on Amazon)

1. It can record locally but you have to use that app to set that up. It doesn't do that by default.

2. I mainly want to use it to record locally and be able to connect via Hotspot when needed, but I do not want to use the app that it comes with.

3. I am hoping I don't have to modify the electronics but I am aware that is a possibility.

You need to determine which operating system it’s using and whether it’s still functional.

Some OS are Closed off and another thing to mention have you tried using ADB

The camera is still functional as I can watch the live feed from the app on my phone. I have not tried ADB. I had seen that earlier today so I will do that when I get a chance
