I bought a cheap nanny camera off of amazon. I was planning to use it as an inconspicuous security camera, but once I noticed how nice the infrared range and quality was it gave me an idea. I want to try to use this camera as an inexpensive game camera that doesnt require a subscription. Basically this camera uses an app to access the wireless feed, and you can use it to connect to a wifi network, or you can connect your device to the camera wifi. I don't want to use the app. I want to know if there is a way to wipe the camera completely and replace the software with my own code to suit my purposes.

Note: My pc will not recognize that the camera is plugged in via usb.

The app is ONLY supported for mobile devices

I am aware that buying a dedicated trail camera would be the easiest option but I want to expand my skill set, not just throw money at a problem to fix it.

I will do my best to answer any questions that may come up
