Do you want something you can watch and record on-line from anywhere on the planet? Or do you mind going out each day to retrieve the cam and manually download what's in the memory?

Offline remote trail cams are commonly used by hunters and Bass Pro has a very good selection.

If you want live monitoring, you'll be limited by distance, but security cams like an Arlo or Nest, run on batteries and bluetooth/wi-fi will give you very high definition.

I use both. But the remote cam is getting less usage as from San Francisco I am able to use my Arlos. I watched a fox this morning nosing around my truck. A couple of bears a few days ago. So many deer and turkeys I lost count.

However, I live next to 53.5 acres of currently undeveloped land that is home to lots of these critters. That is about to change as a the Meredith Planners are about to approve developing this land into God doesn't even know how many houses.

I'll soon use my Arlos to watch two years of construction...Yech!
