dashcam-transporter

Application running on a raspberry pi (or other debian based platforms), to transfer and archive your dashcam video files to your preferred storage

How it works

• The application is searching for the WIfi of your dashcam
• If found it connects to it in searches for locked videos (those where something happened), downloads them and deletes them from the dashcam
• The application then searches for your home network, connects and uploads the videos and deletes them from the pi

Currently supported dashcams

• ✅ Viofo A119 Mini (Probaply other viofo as well)

Currently supported target storages

• ✅ Samba (SMB) Windows Share
