Advice on portable, battery powered, cameras to be remotely viewed

[Mike]

A friend of mine is looking for a solution where we can install an IP camera inside a waterproof box that is powered by a battery and can be viewed remotely on his phone. He would like the camera to last at least a week and will look something like this.



I am thinking either a deep cycle battery (unless anyone has any lighter suggestions), POE + airport card, but I am not really sure if that's the best solution.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

Field and game trail cameras are your best bet, if still photos are okay.

I cannot attest to any of this unit's performance, just recently saw it in a hunting magazine while sitting in chiropractor's office!

Nice, didn't know about this. Thank you.

Still photos is not an option. He needs to be able to view live video.

I’d be interested in what you come up with. Pole cameras seem to be a DIY endeavor. I know local government can work with the utility to install them and tie them into the lines so no batteries are needed. Not exactly a residential option but if your client is LE have them look into that. Some power utilities have entire loss prevention/security departments specializing in this kind of thing to protect their own equipment.

Watching. It would be good to have the option and whatever you find.
