I have some game cameras but I'm tired of wasting $$ on batteries, and having to unload SD cards.
I'd really like to add a couple 100% wireless pi's with wifi - solar power - mini-battery - camera, and set them up to do motion snapshots, and transmit/store on my network available storage. If you read the "chat" area you'll see we recently got some chickens and we've been visited more frequently by other animals, and I'd like to more closely monitor them, and just get better pictures of the wild life as it comes and goes.
Anyone ever done this? Have a guide/suggestions?
Any and all feedback is welcome.
I've never built a pi before so I need to know which model I should try, which container, lens/camera, etc... as low power as possible.
