Project: Roomba Create 2 RPi4 Mobile Security Camera

[ZzyzxOh]

I am considering carving out some time to combine multiple interests into a single project. I recently acquired a Roomba reconditioned Create 2 chassis and the plans for a Raspberry Pi based mobile camera. After less that a week experimenting with the Camect product, I decided I would prefer that my next camera addition be portable and mounted on the Create 2 chassis. Rather than install cameras in every room while you're "not At Home", why not unleash your mobile people-watcher and entertain yourself by watching.

Has anyone here also experimented with surveillance navigation on the Create 2?  Has anyone completed the RPi video streaming project for it? This year, do something fun!

I've done something similar in the past,

but eventually found a better commodity solution

However the company just went bankrupt and can't access remotely, so know I'm looking at resurrecting my Hero with an RPi4

Do you mean it works fine when you are present but you can't control it through the Cloud?

Yes, the remote connection via the app doesn't work anymore. Useless for the use case I needed.
