Yeah, not gonna happen LOL

Nobody here will recommend a consumer grade solar wifi camera.

Plenty of threads discussing it. Here are few. A consumer grade camera will not cut it and you would have to build your own with battery packs taking up the size of half a VW lol. The cost to do it right far exceeds the cost of running wire.

Feasibility of license plate reading at my house
I live on a corner of a kind of busy road and quiet neighborhood street. If possible, I'd like to place a camera that was able to capture license plates of cars coming and going. There is a stop sign, so it should be pretty easy to capture I would think. The issues are that I don't have ethernet...

Lots of great resource information provided already from the other members. So, I'm only going to state some basics for you so you understand what your asking vs what you need.

  • Wireless: This can be from WiFi, Cellular, or RF (Bridge)
  • Solar: I'm going to keep this short because this is a huge topic: 12-24-48 VDC battery, solar sizing, grounding, etc
  • 4K: You probably hit the biggest hot button as it relates to video security. Conduct a search on the best lens / resolution for a given camera: 1/1.8", 1/1.2", 1/2.8, etc

Thanks for heads up. :)

I guess 4K may be too much to ask for...

What about a camera like this? XS7 Pro - HD WiFi Solar Powered Rotating Security Surveillance Camera | Zetronix.com
I highly suggest you take a few moments to read the forum WiKi and the links from the other members. If you just want something like this toy at a cheap price - sure.

Set a realistic budget and go from there. Understand what it is you intend to capture based on (DORI). Google and this forum will explain the importance of DORI and how that relates to the type of camera required.

Keeping in mind a single camera will not offer you everything.

The link you provided is for someone who hasn’t taken the time to learn all the basics.

An hour of reading any of the thousands of threads here will educate you as to what’s important and trying to balance performance vs cost vs value etc.

welcome @r2x209

something like this?




The model you referred to has a very small sensor .. in general I would recommend avoiding smaller sensor cameras if you need low light image capture ..
