Now this is a good idea but I'm turned off by face book adds selling something. I bet someone makes a good one.

I have one, but don't recall where I bought it....works great, totally worth the $20.

Small warning - I bought one of these off amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IVQUW52) a while back. These cameras will not work with just any android phone unless it has USB OTG support.
I ended up using my macbook but the video quality was pretty poor overall. Glad to hear it worked well for someone else though!

There's a variety of these now priced at $9 to $13 shipping included from TMart. A friend and I both purchased the same unit. His provided excellent quality picture. Mine works fine but not as good a picture as his (this using the same tablet to display). So it's a bit of a crap shoot. Still, at those prices it's a throw away item if it doesn't work out. With TMart, I try to order the items that are stocked in their US warehouse. It's speedier shipping.

Which one did you buy and what are the various accessories shown in the photos? The photos are a bit fuzzy.

I wanted one that would work both with Android and Windows PC. Here's the one I purchased:

I would post some pictures but my son borrowed it for some work at his house to see inside the walls. So far I've only connected it to a 10 inch tablet running windows 10. I like the tablet's larger screen as opposed to a phone. Still... just a reminder that I felt the unit I received did not have as clear a picture as the one my partner received (same model), so there may be some quality control issues.
