Looking for any advice/recommendations for cameras in remote area.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
-
Doesn’t need to be connected to any type of network like WiFi or cellular to record video.
-
Solar powered or battery operated
-
Stores video locally. No cloud storage requirement.
-
Can connect to phone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to access videos.
My preliminary searching has pulled up reolink but those are cellularly connected. I don’t want to have to rely on a company being in business for these cameras to work. Let me know your setups.
Have you looked at trail cams? They tick all your boxes - battery powered (some solar compatible), local storage, no network needed, and many newer models let you connect directly via bluetooth or wifi to transfer footage without removing the SD card - plus you might want to check out portable power stations on gearscouts.com if you need more battery capacity for longer deployment.
