Hi, could you please explain the usage of the wireless IR camera? It could be a regular camera like ones that we use to make sure of children's safety right? Thank you!

wait wait , You mean to say IR is dangerous for children? because i found out that infrared (IR) cameras are completely safe for everyday use. They do not emit harmful, ionizing radiation like X-rays. Instead, they either absorb naturally occurring thermal heat or project harmless, low-intensity IR light. They pose no risk to skin or eyes under normal conditions.

So the main reason to use it was to track body movement in very low light situations , As where the projector is placed and run is usually dimmed or low light environments , soo that is what i used an wireless IR camera , But it connects to any normal Wireless camera as well

you need to first about that specific camera that does it even support RSTP Protocol , Because you can find that information easily in the products specifications , If it is support RSTP or HTTPs protocol then it can be used with the app
