    Default Remote monitoring

    Hello this stuff is all new to me, I’m very old fashion. But if it saves me fuel, time, and peace of mind I’m all for it! My sugar operation is very remote. It’s a Mile off the road no electric everything is ran off engines. There is no electric. I’m wondering if there is a live video monitor run on batteries?

    Trail camera perhaps (they operate off batteries, but typically give still images). Do you get cell coverage at the site?

    I use a WiFi camera. A hot spot and a deep cycle battery. Solar panels help a little.

    I use a camera from Reolink , wifi with a hot spot. A 150 watt solar panel keeps a deep cycle battery charged. Works great!

    I have a couple batteries. I’m guessing I switch them out 4-5 times during the season.
