We have a Park Model RV at a seasonal resort campground on the Jersey Shore. I have a couple of WiFi cameras set up so I can look in on the property when we’re not there. The campground closes in November, and we head south to FL. At that time, we shut off the electric so there is no Wi-Fi. Leaving the electric and Wi-Fi set up would have run me about $85/mo. I would have liked to be able to check on the property, especially after a heavy snow or a sever nor’easter Also, while we don’t have a theft problem, residents often have contractors in to do work over the winter and there have been some minor, but annoying thefts (propane tanks, outdoor speakers, etc.) But I really didn’t want to spend the $400-$500 it would have cost me to keep the Wi-Fi running for five months. This camera solved that problem. The setup was a breeze. I have set up several Wi-Fi cameras for both myself and friends and neighbors. This was by far the easiest set up. I downloaded the app, created an account, logged in and followed the prompts to search for a new device. The app found the camera and I was set. The camera comes with the hardware to accommodate numerous physical installations of both the camera and the solar panel. I chose a permanent mount, but I thought it was cool that there was an easy temporary mount option if you want to move it around your property to capture game activity. Thanks to the camo-design, the camera is very inconspicuous where I have it mounted (see pic). Picture quality is excellent, both in the daytime and in night mode. I’ve included pictures of the same scene taken during the day and at night so you can compare. The motion tracking and pan and tilt are very responsive. One word of warning, the motion detection is VERY sensitive. I set the camera up early in the evening then had to leave the next day for a funeral, so I shut off alerts on my phone. By the time I got home 2 days later I had burned through my trial data allotment. I was getting an activation almost once every ten seconds. It had been a windy day and my wife’s windchimes were in the cameras field of view. If I had alerts “on” I would have noticed this and adjusted down the sensitivity. The app offers multiple cellular plans to meet most people’s needs. I’ll most likely be choosing the Basic 6 month plan. That plan will cost me less for 6 months than the cost of leaving my electric and WiFi on for one month. In summary – If you need (or want) a camera to set up where there is no WiFi or power, this is a great option. Easy setup, Great picture quality, and reasonable cellular plans.

I now own 6 of these cameras and I am happy with the quality of the video and pictures. It did give me some blank ones but I also had a lot of wind for branches and grass. I like the screen so you can quickly check out the recording. I am now thinking about getting two of the cellular ones with the solar panels. I use rechargeable batteries and they do last a while. I am thinking about putting the cell cameras high so I won’t be able to switch out memory cards. I would just note that if you don’t switch out batteries quickly then the date and time need fixed. We got the big ten pt buck in the video and I appreciate the cameras to help track him. I got all of them on sale and it is worth the sale price by my opinion. These are also my first trail cameras.
