No wifi cams?

[Cleopatra 2020]

Just wondering if anybody knows of any cams or pet cams that do not require Wi-Fi and if so can you shoot me a link thanks in advance

I’m sure you could look up some CCTV security type products. Some don’t require wi-fi, but will require electricity and cabling connectivity. How far away from your house, etc is the enclosure? Or, how far away is the enclosure to where you will be viewing?

Maybe something like this? https://www.a1securitycameras.com/samsung-hcv-7030r.html

I just don't understand why I can't connect to the phone it has an app and everything they should just put a chip in the camera to where you don't need Wi-Fi that it just goes to a satellite and then your app of course on your phone which has the internet already

Because that would make the camera incredible expensive and to talk with a statellite with bandwidth enough to transfer live video you need a sizeable external antenna as well.

WiFi chips are «a dime a dusin» and almost everyone has WiFi these days, makes choice easy for the manufacturers, you put a WiFi chip inside an satisfy 99% of the market.

You can find camera that will accept a network cable as well if that is an alternative.

You will also find some cameras with a SIM card, basically they build a phone inside the camera but that as well is more expensive and would require som kind of running carrier plan with a telco. Would be way more cheap than the satellitte option though.

Yep, satellite TCOM is expensive. Dated info, but look at the rates..

You can get a normal WiFi one for 30 bucks and get a portable WiFi router for like 30 bucks.

Yea I am getting one similar to that. I like the motion sensor and 2 way audio feature. That way if a coyote gets within 30 feet of my enclosure I will get a notification on my phone and I just scream in the microphone and the coyote will get scared and run of. LOL
