Because of issues with some delivery companies, almost exclusively FedEx, I'm looking for options for a security or trail camera to monitor the end of my driveway. The driveway is 400 feet so something that requires a plug is not feasible. I tried an inexpensive trail camera but it had some issues. I'm pretty sure the advertised trigger time was artificially low. And it seems to have crapped out, no longer capturing any video. I don't have a set budget for this but I'd prefer to not pay $200 for $100 worth of performance. Another option would be a battery/solar powered security camera like the one below. But at $140-170 for the solar powered configuration with a black silicone cover to keep it somewhat hidden. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? I have not checked the wifi strength that far from the house but a directional antennae may be a possibility. Although I'd prefer something that did not require wifi.
