amarie1 Posted September 11, 2021 Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Suggestions for an outdoor, battery-operated camera I can stick on my RV? It's parked in an outside storage lot and I'd like to be able to check on it. No electric hookups. And of course I'd use it while traveling too; that is, while at a campsite. At home I have Nest cams which are great ... would love to find something similar.

Jaydrvr Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 We use Eufycams at home. You can get the outdoor units that have a 360 day battery. I don't know if they really go that long, because they've been up less than a year, but I can confirm that they last many months. We really like them. You do need an internet connection if you want to monitor them in real time, otherwise you can have them record to an sd card to review at a later date.

Will B. Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 There's also Arlo. That one has a base station (which you can wire to DC with an adapter). But like the suggestion above, you'll need Internet. Also, I don't know the draw on the base station, but I suspect it'll run your batteries down after a time.

Star Dreamer Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 Interesting concept but I think you would have to go with a cellular solar powered camera something like this. I would imagine you have to pay for a cellular device to use it. Obviously not stick on but you may want to come up with a good secure mount as you would not want it easily removed anyway. https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Solar-Powered-Security-Wirefree-Go/dp/B07TKKPTL3 Quote 2005 Freightliner Century S/T, Singled, Air ride ET Jr. hitch 2019 46'+ Dune Sport Man Cave custom 5th wheel toy hauler Owner of the 1978 Custom Van "Star Dreamer" which might be seen at a local car show near you!

amarie1 Posted September 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 Thanks all. I went ahead and got this from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DW38ZGQ I will need to get a TMobile prepaid SIM card. Not sure how that'll work but I'll learn and report back.
