I'm posting this here because I'm not sure it's anything to do with Linux at all, but I figure a lot of these small devices use some form of small OS based on Linux?
Anyways.. I have a wildlife camera similar to this one here >> https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/162745343211
Today, it captured a series of clips of intruders on my farm.
Funny thing was though, I have a whole bunch of these cams dotted around the farm and they all captured different sections of the action at different times. Working between the content of all the different clips, it became apparent that one cam seemed to be missing a lot of action it really should have caught.
I noticed that the SD card in that particular camera, had far less recordings stored than would normally be the case for the length of time it had been left unattended.
There was also a bizarre file present on the card, besides the list of .avi files - named AAAAAAAA.AAA, and sized at zero bytes
Is it possible this file could indicate in some way, someone having tampered with the camera &/or card, to delete some files?
Just thought that maybe, the level of expertise in here is such that the filename might prompt an idea in someone's mind..
edit.. is it possible the AAAAAAAA.AAA file could be some sort of artifact of the formatting process? I always format the card when I first put it in. or, could there be some other maybe glitch-related explanation for it being there other than someone deliberately fiddling..
