Maybe specific, but if you do any DIY housework, get an endocscope. Baiscally, a 10 foot long flexible wire with a camera and light at the end. Uses your phone as a screen. Can be had for <$50. So many of my house projects would have been impossible without it. Also good for finding stuff under the couch.

I got one on wish like 10 years ago and it's still works fine today! Do your research though because some say "1080p" but gives you only 120p! lol Also, Temu is the new wish! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Get one with a built in screen not an app. Your phone will eventually be updated but the app never will and might stop working at some point

They're usually just basic USB cameras so any generic camera app that supports USB cameras will work with them. I use an app called CameraFI 2 on Android.

Mine works with generic apps on the Play Store
