You can get a cheap Wi-Fi enabled camera intended for sticking in your ear for less than $5.

You know what else it's good for?
Reading tiny print on tiny chips. Here's a comparison of this device vs. an iPhone 16.

You're welcome.

@wdormann HOW ON EARTH is that hilarious shit available for only five bucks?

does it require a strange app? how does it work before I add this to my cart!

@f4grx
The cam is a Wi-Fi Access Point.

Yes, there's an app, but put it on an old phone you don't care about if you're paranoid.

Did you expect it to not use an app?
Show threadF4GRX Sébastien15h ago
@wdormann yes. being a wifi AP I expected it to serve a simple html page with a video stream player.

For less than $5. OK. 😂

@wdormann Thats less work than building an app tbh.

You have a unreasonable expectation of skills from the masses.

@f4grx @wdormann maybe that's all it does and they just don't document it 🤷

For $5 they probably just bundling FOSS
