[chbot] Interesting product - needs an enclosure!

[Henri Shustak]

Pretty nice little camera for the price point.

Is this a security camera / time laps setup?

I am curious. One of the companies I work with offers solutions in both these spaces so I am curious.

Maybe see you at the meeting on the 20th?

What ever you are up to would be good to see the end result :)
