Dashcam Auto Upload

Sat Feb 13, 2016 5:44 pm

So I am so new to Pi that I dont even own one yet. I am hoping that i could get some input as to HOW to accomplish my project. Maybe someone has done this before. So here is what I want to do.

I have 2 dashcams mounted in my vehicle. They record to a microSD card. Both cams have USB connections so if you want to hook them to a computer to get the video you can, they just appear as you standard USB mass storage device.

I would like to connect both cameras via USB to a Pi and when i pull in my drive way have the Pi automatically connect to my home WiFi and upload the video to my server by either FTP or by using owncloud. Which ever way it works easiest. Now the upload can be done either of 2 ways. Either by sequential backup or just upload the entire contents of the SD card. If the second works better then i would want it to delete the SD card after everything is uploaded.

So, besides buying a Pi and a wifi dongle for it, where do i start, how do i accomplish this, Is this even possible with a Pi?

Thanks.
