captainhastings Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Can any one recommend a wifi camera that also acts as a stand alone wap to connect to so it doesnt require internet ? Preferable POE too but not essential for outdoors Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udderlyoffroad Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 What's your intended application? Do you want a trail cam that has a SIM card in it, or do you want a security camera? Also, PoE without using the E? Some security cameras will do that, and upload data over Wifi - not recommended however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the POE as you know just lenght of cat 5 to a plugin injector. Just easier to supply power Edited January 16, 2022 by captainhastings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demonic69 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I wouldn't worry about POE, you could just use a balun on either end if some cat5/6 or even 2 core for power. If you're running a cable you could always get a wired IP camera and run it back to a wireless router. I'm a fan of Hikvision cameras, the quality and support are both excellent. Swann do some standalone cameras with SD card and direct wi-fi, but the one's I've seen don't have the best picture quality, even for the supposed specs. Reolink get great reviews too. The Argus 3 looks great, but requires local wi-fi. You don't need internet, but often do need a wi-fi network, so watch out for that. Most will continue recording, so with a bit of fore thought you could probably use her phone as a hotspot and configure the cameras to that, so when she's there, with her hotspot on, she can access them via the relevant app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I’m an Arlo fan. One place we do have Hikvision but the other is Arlo wireless cams and for the woods. An Arlo go with £4 per month sub through Vodafone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
