  • using a meshVPN like tailscale or netbird would another option as well. it would allow you to use proper backup software like restic or whatever, and with tailscale on both devices, it would allow restic to be able to find the pi device even if the other person moved to a new house. (although a pi with ethernet would be preferable so all they have to do is plug it in to their new network and everything would be good. if it was a pi zero then someone would have to update the wifi password)










  • i used the xiaomi mijia 360 back when i was doing mapillary a few years ago. it was cheaper than the gopro as i remember.

    it was a bit finicky to use overall but it got the job done at the same time. its not standalone camera like the gopro so you have to keep it connected to the app while youre using it. the app was very basic and whether they have kept it updated and working with the latest android is something you would want to check. the xiaomi desktop software that you use to convert the images to flat photos would crash after doing a few hundred so you have to manually restart the process a few times to get all of them converted.

    heres an example of what the quality is like. this is on a monopod sticking out the back window of my car, with the 2 lenses pointing to the left and right side of the car
