Great video. I too have a number of Blink and Reolink cameras installed, at three locations around the country. Two observations, both of which you may have touched upon- -Most of my blink cameras are battery powered and outdoors. They have a relatively long trigger time, sometimes as long as 10 seconds, which may be an issue for some. That said, they are a tremendous value when on sale. In my opinion, a better option if you have AC power at the location is to install the AC-powered camera. Those are just as inexpensive, and consistently trigger very quickly. -With respect to the Reolink cameras, as you mentioned, they seem to power quite well via solar panel. I have one panel installed under the eaves of my house, and facing toward the house, i.e., shaded and with absolutely no direct sunlight. The camera consistently remains charged, solar powered only by reflected light from the side of the house-impressive.

I have the Reolink Trackmix 4G LTE camera at our camp site in the mountains and it works great. The solar panel keeps the camera charged at 100 percent. I've had it for over a year. The SIM card is from T-Mobile. Good video Doc.

@@HowTowithDoc I find that hard to believe and we have tactaccam and Stealth cam That are good but not great cellular game cams. We may be able to see at long distancesbut nothing is clear or usable. Stand by my comment about axis cameras. I would rather spend money on Poe cameras of that brand before I wasted any more money on cellular. Sure cellular will work but again at night time they're horrible not to mention the fog in the mist and the condensation suck for these lenses. I bought 2 stealth cam 360 revolver pros and they ended up in a dumpster. The stealth cam deceptor max works pretty decent.

The issue I had with Blink cameras up where I live in Minnesota is that the battery does not last long at all in cold weather. I am going to take a look into these new cameras. Love the idea of solar.
@HunterTN3 ай бұрын
You can get solar panels for Blink cameras, I've gotten 2 and they work just fine. I don't see how they can say the batteries last two years, I used the ones out of the box and they barely made it a few weeks.

I’m in the path of a hurricane and evacuated. I wanted a cellar video camera I could put outside that runs off battery. I would love to view live footage remotely to see whether or not my house floods and to view what is going on outside. The last hurricane I had ring cameras installed in my windows but my power and Wi-Fi went out. Wanted to see if you could recommend one? I would love to pan the camera around live and see all over.

@@rogergordon7179 Roger, if possible, contact your local ag co-op sooner than later and see if they can apply 2 tons/acre of ag lime (if no soil test is done). Ag lime will help raise the ph of your soil and takes time to work. It is not expensive, but the transportation and spreading equipment can be the most expensive part of the process. If you are like me, the lack of organic matter in your red clay will be a challenge. Hopefully, you will have at least 2-3 inches of quality topsoil on top of that red clay. Good luck.
