Security Camera Recommendation?

Posted May 31 2024, 14:10

Hey All,

I am starting a project about 2 hours away and would like to monitor the property remotely without making a 2-hour drive, so I am looking for recommendations on security cameras. Here's the rub: the property does not have power in all areas, and some spots are out of Wi-Fi range. Do you have recommendations for solar-powered security cameras with 4G/5G connectivity so I can check on the project remotely?

Thanks all!

Shane

Hey Shane, I have used these in the past and they work well enough, https://www.amazon.com/REOLINK-Duo-LTE-SP-Continuous/dp/B0BB... They are not cheap and obviously require some kind of cellular plan, but I was able to get them to work using Mint mobile (you need a phone to activate the sim card on first, like an old iphone) Ive had 3 of these up watching a property in Cleveland, OH for well over a year, and Ive only had one issue where I needed to go check on the camera itself, (the plug for the solar panel came disconnected and just needed plugged back in) 

This camera in particular is nice because its actually 2 lenses that capture the full 180 degrees, so one cellular plan for "2" cameras.
