Battery op, internet free Security camera recommendations please!

[FortheloveofBlagdon]

Hi there, I'm struggling to find a cctv/security type camera that will run on rechargeable battery and without wifi for my stable. It can be motion sensor or continuous running as long as it records to an SD card that I can review when I need to. Small budget! What is everyone else using? Or is there another suggestion out there?

Unfortunately a fellow livery has now twice fed my horse hay unnecessarily and yesterday someone had definitely been in my stable (she was in for the day) so I'm looking for evidence before tackling them about it :-(

Many thanks!

Could you try an SJ5000? Little camera that has SD card space. No Wi-Fi, can just leave on record. I use it as a hat cam. You might have to get a little charging thing like:

To keep it going. Just uses a normal usb port that goes into the charger and the other end will likely be android/universal to plug into the camera.

Wildlife or trail cameras might work but they aren't cheep.

I've got a reolink2 - you can put an sd card in that if you aren't using wifi.

I researched this recently and the only 4G solar powered camera I could find was Reolink. I've got one but haven't managed to connect it up to the network yet, which is a little frustrating. I don't think the problem is with the camera, probably the 4g network and/or the user!

The downside I found was that I originally bought 2 4g devices assuming I could switch easily between them - nope! It needed a reset each time.
Its easily solved though, by logging into the router and giving them both the same network name and password.

I went to a local demmo a while back (last year??) where Clippersharp were demming solar-powered PIR activated security lights.

Don't know if they do Cameras as well, but might be worth having a peek at their website in case they do??

Failing that, it might be worth approaching a few private security firms to see what they can suggest; someone somewhere should have what you're wanting! And the advantage of having something installed by a recognised security firm is that they'll put up a notice saying words-to-the-effect-of the security system is installed by...... (so-and-so), which will go a long way to sharpening the minds of the criminal fraternity that THIS yard is covered by a professional security system..........

Just a thought.

Rydale horse cameras look great, only heard good things about them

The use a sim card(no wifi needed) , can access the camera footage live from your phone and run off a leisure battery (no electric needed)

I think I need to invest...

Rydale cameras are great. I have the ptz stable cam that runs off a leisure battery and works with a sim card for 4G. It did work out about £500 for the initial purchase and set up though.

thank you both xx

No bother, Chris at Rydale is really good, he'll call to help you set up and he's really good if you encounter any problems.

How much data does one typically use?

 

[holeymoley]

I normally top up £10 per month and it does. Sometimes runs over.

This isn't bad - not the simplest to use but OK once you've figured it out. Motion detector, decent picture quality & records to SD.

As per my earlier post, I got a solar powered 4g camera from Reolink, I think it was around £250. I've got a data card from Vodafone that's £3/month (it's called a V-Sim and you have to ask specifically for it as no-one seems to know about them). Unfortunately I've not yet set it up as I need to get some help to get it sited somewhere useful.
