Hello,
I have an iPad mini that I won at work and (after my grandma tried to use it and couldn't get used to it) I want to use it as an outdoor camera. I have an audio baby monitor and very cheap camera in my barn to check in on my two goats around kidding (birthing) season without having to make the trip out there.
Several Google searches showed me that people use iPads as video baby monitors and pet cameras but my concern it the temperature. My barn isn't insulated and, while it wouldn't be rained on, the iPad would be exposed to outdoor temperatures and humidity. I'm in Seattle so it does get below freezing occasionally and it's very humid.
Right now I'm looking into some kind of case or box that would reflect the iPad's own heat onto itself while preventing overheating AND would protect it from humidity while still allowing the charging cable in the box. I guess I'm here looking for any ideas at all because Google is a little sparse with this one. In all fairness, iPads aren't known for their durability, but I'm hoping someone has ideas.
Thanks
