    Camera suggestions for outdoor, no power, no sun, no internet?

    I don't expect miracles. Just looking for suggestions that help steer me in the right direction. Anyone use any non-trail-cam cellular cameras? For example,. I looked at this one: DEFEND Cam Cellular Security Camera - but wasn't thrilled.

    Camera suggestions for outdoor, no power, no sun, no internet?

    While a fine suggestion for a wired network with Internet access and an NVR of some kind, I don't think it meets the needs. Too complicated, too many extra parts needed. I am not familiar with "DORI", but after a quick Google search, I'd say 100-150. It would be nice to be able to make out a...

    Camera suggestions for outdoor, no power, no sun, no internet?

    Another idea is that there might be Xfinity WiFi in the area. I am a Comcast Internet customer, so I should have access to their wifi network, just not sure if that would be useful.

    Camera suggestions for outdoor, no power, no sun, no internet?

    Yes, the building has power inside. It's probably 100+ years old and has a brick and concrete exterior, with walls that are quite thick. They could be drilled to find power inside, either in the form of an AC adapter, or a POE adapter. There is no usable power outside where the cameras would go.

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-E35IR-AS-S2 5MP 1/2.7" CMOS IR Fixed-Focal Dome Network Camera

    Can these cameras be firmware downgraded? I've got a couple that have v3.140.0000000.15.R 2024-03-30 on them, and I'd like to go back a version or two to see if network issues in the current firmware are absent in older firmware. Is this possible on these cameras?

    How to enable Native Internet Explorer in Windows 11 to access your IP cams.

    No matter what I tried, no form of IE (via command line, Edge, Firefox, IE itself, etc...) will work for me. I ended up installing the iVMS software in order to manage the Hikvision cameras that require IE. Unfortunately, iVMS has some serious issues, and is very frustrating to use. But if...

    Review- EmpireTech IPC-E35IR-AS-S2 5MP 1/2.7" CMOS IR Fixed-Focal Dome Network Camera

    I recently (~ 6 weeks ago) bought two of these cameras, one a 3.6mm, and the other a 2.8mm. I loaded the most recent firmware (v3.140.0000000.15.R 2024-03-30) into both, and installed them. They both work fine as cameras, but one has trouble that the other does not. These are remotely...

    Wifi Outdoor Solar Powered Optical Zoom Motion Camera quest

    What is PLA? I tried a trail cam solution, but the motion detection wasn't sensitive enough to pick up people more than 20 feet away.

    Wifi Outdoor Solar Powered Optical Zoom Motion Camera quest

    Thanks for quoting me the most expensive EmpireTech camera listed on Amazon. Unfortunately it's out of stock, and doesn't appear to be solar powered. :) I realize that my existing wifi isn't going to make it 600 feet, but that's an easy problem to solve. Finding a camera solution is why I came...

    Wifi Outdoor Solar Powered Optical Zoom Motion Camera quest

    Thanks for all of that wittaj. I had seen your replies to other threads here, and read through much of that material. Not finding what I was after, I started a new thread. If wifi is the deal killer, then 4GLTE it is. I'm not morally opposed to it, but didn't feel like I needed it. I don't even...
