Have any of you gotten one of those usb charger spy cameras to connect to BI? I'm looking in to getting a few but only if they connect to BI.
Thanks

Welcome 44085weather,
It would be helpful if you provide more information on that product, make, model, specs, links,..
It's easy to get swamped with information here, so I wanted to share some notes with you
Please check out @giomania 's notes:
Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)
I have also made notes which are a summary of a lot of the reading I've been doing here,:
Looking for some advice and direction!
Have fun joining us here.
There are tons of these on eBay. Not sure of exact make or model. I even see them on Amazon. I have 12 cameras currently on my BI install, but these would be great for some extra coverage of the back door and a few other areas. Was just curious if anyone has gotten these to work with BI.

I would be cautious with some of the cheaper products from China.

If you want to meet expensive extra coverage why not purchase some of those $49 in Annke Hikvision cube camera rebrands?

Not trying to revive the dead but I have to say be very weary of the type of wifi cameras. The reason they don't play well with BI is because they all phone home to China and force you to use their proprietary cloud based apps. Problem is that your video is transmitted to a third party and redirected back to you. Given that these are spy cams, I'm sure there is some factory with thousands of monitors full of people laughing and ogling at all of the free shows that these cameras put out.. .. Of front yards, garages and kitchens of course.... After all why would anyone want to spy on anything else!?
