We at FFFTech hate people... absolutely despise them. They leave crumbs all over the damn carpet! They defecate everywhere! They're just downright DIABOLICAL! And we know you hate them too, fellow customer! That's why we have JUST the product for YOU!
Introducing the IPi V3! Just like the previous model, this camera works by wirelessly streaming video from the camera to other devices such as laptops, desktops, virtually any kind o' top! Using motionEyeOS, you can connect with the device's IP address, and peep on creeps from the comfort of your home!
(Version 3 should have it's camera upgraded to Pi Camera V2 or Pi NoIR V2)
The IPi V3 takes the best features of V1.5 and V2. Version 1.5 had an accessible MicroSD card, and could swivel on all axis, but the ball and socket wore out fast and it became too loose. Version 2 has a sturdier base, swiveling was simplified, and the camera stayed in it's pointed position. Unfortunately it could only swivel side to side, and the MicroSD card was inaccessible.
Version 3 has an arm that rotates and allows the camera to pitch while staying in its pointed position. The MicroSD card is also accessible. Because of these features, the base can be mounted in any position!
Due to the design intent on security, the IPi V2 should be printed in a color the closely matches it's surroundings, or at least Black, to make it more difficult to see in darker environments. But YOU can print it in any color you want; from: "There'sa storm a'comin'!" Grey, all the way to "I'm Mr. Meeseeks!" Powder Blue!
So hide from them crumb dropping, poop plopping, people! Start studying them from afar with the IPi V3, Today!
