rf9000 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 All, I would like to temporarily install small small cameras that would be indoor and outdoor to have video survelliance at our construction site. They would need to be 4G since we don't have WIFI there. Also I would like them to have battery backup option. These cameras would only have to activate and send pictures or video to cell phone when motion is detected. Kinda like Trail cameras used for hunting. Can anyone suggest some inexpensive options for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THawes Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I'm not familiar with any of the cellular-based security cameras that are out there, but if I had to do something similar: Grab a GL.iNet router from Amazon, they support adding a cellular modem via USB or you can bridge it to a hotspot, if you needed to. They support several client/server VPN options as well if you wanted to setup a site-site VPN - again, depends on your needs. These things are cheap, too ($25-$80 depending on the model you want) https://www.amazon.com/s?k=glinet+router Use standard IP POE cameras and throw an NVR there or do recording locally inside the cameras. You can put that all on a UPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
