I have an amcrest one and it works great with frigate over RTSP. I also blocked it’s internet access and firewalled it on my local network so it can’t phone home.

Ah thank you, I might have to give that a shot!

Now this is the kind of shitposting I wanna see

You’d probably want something closer to a USB C power meter. A killawatt would measure the overhead from the charger brick rectifying AC to DC. If you happen to have a killawatt on hand it would work fine most likely.

Some of the best android phones, especially for the price. They seem to last forever and have good non-bloated software + unique features like shake for flashlight (why don’t other OEMS have this?). Only complaints I have are some lack of custom ROM support and sometimes wear over time. But for the price they are almost unbeatable.
