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 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.
yeah I got a nice cheap camera for 25 bucks that looks like it works great as two-way audio and all kinds of features but I couldn't connect to my neighbor's Wi-Fi so I was having issues there's only four steps to set it up and it was being a pain in the *** I think I might just call for technical support today and see if someone can help it's a wyze cameraYou 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.
