Did not think about the con's in this case, but i still would desire to make a type of digital journal for my little one whom is 3yrs at the moment but it will be created over the span of her years as she grows, this would still be posable correct? And what would be the best way to make the esp32 soc work with text and audio? I have never used one before and dont know what kind of programs can be used with it. i am very much new to this stuff and really want to learn
I didnt understand very well did I

Im not sure i fully understand now.. a digital journal for a 3 yr old?? an always on recording 24/7 would be both power hungry requiering a daily recharge or exchange of batteries. And would require significant editing time on a daily basis to reduce the footage to something meaningful and relevant. Not forgetting the intrusion into your childs privacy that they may grow to resent, I know I would..
Perhaps i am still not fully understanding your idea but there are lots of surveillance/spy novelty devices to be found on ebay/amazon, though i would urge you to reconsider if your plans are to spy on your child (if that is what it is?) i suspect that it would be perceived as very creepy rather than the 'wonderful life record' your perhaps imagining? what you find 'cute' atm your child may grow to find Uber embarrassing. If you do proceed PLEASE dont post it online or store it on an open cloud platform, your child and society may well mature beyond the current fad of public exposure of private moments.
However youtubes by "Andreas Spiess" on the esp family of socs should give you a headstart on their capacity and use.
