18.10 didn’t work out of the box. It didn’t pick up the wifi drivers.
The above link suggested 18.04 daily. I’m going to give that a try.

Finding a good camera shouldn’t be too difficult given how many cameras exist now. They are literally everywhere.
I learned right away that the cameras were pretty much all standardized. They came in a few flavors but overall they were either too small, too wide, or too expensive. That helped me limit stuff down a lot.
I found this one right off by searching for “USB Camera”. It has a lot of good points that seem to match what I am looking for. I didn’t need the hardware shell but I can take that off I assume.
My trip to Fry’s in LA this morning wasn’t as great as I hoped. But I did get some great ideas on how to accomplish things.
There were two major themes in the hardware that I looked at.
There wasn’t much for integration or components that were universal. Either they were for their own little world or they were for some subset of the Apple ecosystem.
The purpose of the build out is to take a 100% analog vehicle and bring in modern creature comforts and a modern driveline. In addition to this I will be integrating a few technology tools that are developed at my current work.
In the morning I would like to walk out to my car, walk up to the door and have it unlock for me. If it greeted me in Jarvis’ voice from Ironman I would like that too.
