Ah, I see! You’re thinking of using a remote camera connected to your
smartphone via WiFi or USB to capture the road while keeping your phone
under control. This could work well for your setup where the phone acts
as a hub and the camera captures the road. Here’s how you can proceed:
Connecting a Remote Camera to Your Smartphone:
**Option 1: WiFi Camera Setup

    WiFi Camera:
        Use a WiFi-enabled external camera that you can mount on the
windshield to capture the road.
        The camera connects wirelessly to your smartphone via its app
(most WiFi cameras come with an app to view the footage).
        The smartphone controls the camera, and you can stream the live
feed to a larger tablet as you want.

    App Setup:
        Install the corresponding camera app on your smartphone to
control the WiFi camera.
        Ensure the camera is mounted properly for optimal road coverage.
        Connect the camera and smartphone to the same WiFi network to
avoid connection issues.

**Option 2: USB Camera Setup

    USB Dashcam:
        If you prefer a wired connection, you can use a USB camera (many
dashcams support USB connections) and connect it directly to your phone
via a USB OTG (On-The-Go) cable.
        Use an app like USB Camera - Connect EasyCap or UVC (for
Android) that allows you to view the live feed from the USB camera.

    App Setup:
        Connect the USB camera to your smartphone using the OTG cable.
        Open the corresponding app (USB Camera or similar) to start
viewing the camera feed on the phone.

    Video Streaming to Tablet:
        You can then mirror your phone’s screen to a tablet via WiFi
using the same mirroring apps (like ApowerMirror, LetsView, etc.) to
view the live road footage and navigation.

Advantages of This Setup:

    Remote Camera means you can place the camera high on the windshield
for a better road view while controlling everything from the smartphone
below.
    Tablet Viewing ensures you can keep your hands free from handling
the smartphone while still having access to the live feed and
navigation.

Would you like help picking out the best WiFi or USB camera for this? Or
if you already have a camera in mind, I can guide you through the setup!
