Looking for any advice/recommendations for cameras in remote area.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

  1. Doesn’t need to be connected to any type of network like WiFi or cellular to record video.

  2. Solar powered or battery operated

  3. Stores video locally. No cloud storage requirement.

  4. 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.

    It may not be exactly what you want, but I built something similar with zero “cloud” connectivity using only WLAN to capture and record the video streams to a ZoneMinder box in my closet. I would only recommend this if you have some background in Linux/server admin though.
