Benthejockey Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Has anyone got any recommendations for the above? I'd like to put a camera in my lambing shed. At the minute I have to come and go and sit in my truck till late o'clock and id like to be able to monitor them from home including in the middle of the night. Currently I go home about 1230 and go back to them about 530. With a camera I'd be able to monitor them and only go out if anything was happening. We haven't got electricity down there so it needs to run off a leisure battery or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic1281 Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 A friend of mine is trialling one at the moment. He runs his own business doing cctv installs. He’s recently expanded his range of cameras and what he’s trialling at the moment might be suitable. Are you still in Shropshire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Arlo do a 4g standalone version. Not trialled it, but we have all of their other cctv gear and are very impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mat Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 If you have a spare phone, you can use an app called Alfred camera. Just connects via 4g. I've got it set up in the goat shed as we live 11 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I've spoken to a local bloke ecommended by Medic1291, who's trialling some kit and going to give me a price including full installation. I think they're all much of a muchness, very likely the same camera in a different box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IP needs to communicate with wherever you are viewing from, unless there's WiFi on the allotment, you only have 4g, so need a sim and data plan.

This is the bit that confused me, it should say you WILL need a 4g MiFi device to make this work, with a data plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
