I have wondered how possible it might be to set up a few such cameras in a region and use them to triangulate meteor landing sites, maybe go find them after? I don't know how precise you could get, but it feels like if you could get down to a football field or something, maybe you could find the recently fallen ones, at least the large ones.

That is precisely the kind of work performed (in the open, all the data is public) by the Global Meteor Network: https://globalmeteornetwork.org/ https://globalmeteornetwork.org/ Unfortunately most meteors never land because they completely burn up in the atmosphere. From the reading I've done today, I think the ones you're after are called "meteor-dropping fireballs".
