Hi All
I'm wanting to setup my camping/traveling gear with outside cook station and a freezer chest.
I don't have any gear yet. Only a bunch of old off brand smart phone's and a few raspberry pi's SBC's.

I want to have live access to cameras. I'm thinking loud bear horn and lights would keep the kitchen tent/shelter and cook gear safe. Just need it connected to proximity sencers or allow remote activation on live feed cameras.
Any suggestions on how to get this without monthly fee's ?

The Windows client speaks to 1 to 36.
I do not know if it allows more.

Regarding Motion detection and notification...

The little running man icon denotes when that camera is detecting motion.

There is NOTHING going on right now, except rain.

If that were to send me an email/txt/FTP upload....constant.
lol.. Dame I didn't think about that.. CRAP that changes everything. I was planning on doing most of my camping in winter weather. Snow and rain. I love snow and rain. FART'S.
EDIT: I already order cam. Maybe the app sensitivity can work for this. Would be nice if there was sensitivity and zone presets. "fingers crossed"

On mine, you can adjust the sensitivity.
But there is probably a very fine line between Yes and No.
False Pos and False Neg.

A line that I am not inclined to spend hours fine tuning.


And then, you have something like this:

Which, to the camera, looks the same size as a bear.

Do you think having an umbrella over camera might reduce the false positive ?
