Target cam / Backup camera

I have been looking at wireless backup camera that I can multi use.

1. I like to use it to backup my chevy to hitch up my camper
2. use it as a backup camera in the Toyo campers
3. use it as a target cam while out shooting.

I wanted something that works on wifi, that I can connect from ipad or any pda phone.
I wanted something that had a battery built in.

So getting a cheap pda phone was the solution. [drum roll]

So here goes:

1. get a moto e sprint prepaid cellphone for $40 (brand new, from bestbuy), free shipping too.

2. Don't turn it on, first activate it on https://ringplus.net/
pick the free plan.

3. install IP Webcam from google play store
it is a free ap

4. setup a wifi hot spot on the moto e ( we will call this the camera phone)

5. start the ip webcam and start server to stream vid

6. connect from your pda phone/ipad from the driver seat


So we end up with a free plan cellphone which actually works and a backup camera


I am going to use the suction cup phone holders to mount it to my tail gate or rear window.

Note to extend the wifi range at the range, I will use a wireless router, you can get an external unidirection antenna if you trying extreme distance like 200 yards ;-).
