[Shop-talk] Self contained home security cameras (Ronnie Day)

[Tony Vaccaro]

I might be wrong, but I think the problem here will be the fact that he probably does not have high speed internet or maybe no wired internet at all. With miles between homes most of that "world" is just not wired.  Which is ridiculous as we have given the Verizons, Comcasts, Spectrums etc etc in the USA enough tax breaks and entitlements that every home in America should have fiber optic.

A very good plan.  Be sure they are inconspicuous or they will leave with your uninvited guest.  There are many USB powered version out there and they are very inexpensive.
Another option is to get something turnkey that will broadcast the info, like a Ring doorbell or floodlight.  They upload the video to a server (costs about $25 a year for the subscription for this) and you can view it when you want to/need to. Or real time from your phone.  If you get the doorbell you can talk to whoever is at the door.  Not sure about the light but the doorbell has internal batteries and can also be hardwired (either to an existing door bell circuit or with an external
transformer) so you don't have to think about them.
