Ive had so many security cameras over the years, but due to their extremely small sensors, regardless of how high their 16k resolution cllaims to be, they have horrible quality. not to bad in good lighting if looking at a full image in entirety, but very pixelated and good luck if you actyally want to see anything in deail.

so here I have a few different action cameras with much better image quality and larger sensors that i’d like to convert into security cameras. First I like the higher quality footage, but also, I enjoy having some of my own home videos in a much better and higher quality.

Is there any good way to convert something like a gopro 8 hero black or even better an Insta360 Ace pro or Ace pro 2 into a security camera? Really, I just want something to be able to utilize the better footage, but also be able to set up in the home an infrared lighting that the cameras can process and get great images just like real security camera all seem to have capability to do now.

Any ideas on where to begin on such a project. the insta306 ace and ace 2 have never been used, but given the image quality shouldn’t be too much different betiween the two, I’d like to keep the ace 2 and have no problems destroying the original ace if i can get the outcome to be a successful security cam.
