Battery operated, wireless, wifi, nestbox cameras? (1 Viewer)

Does such a thing exist?

A battery operated, wireless, wifi, nest box camera?

There are plenty of home security cameras in existence that meet this criteria, however, I’m unable to find nest box cameras that meet this criteria.

If anyone is able to inform me of the existence of such a nest box camera it would be much appreciated?

Thanks in advance,
Miles

The battery operated security cameras work a bit like trail cameras, they only film things when they detect something. Even then the battery life is not good. A next box camera is "always on" and needs illumination to work in the box, not a good combination for battery life. I had a battery powered wireless nest box camera many years ago. It send signals to a receiver plugged into the back of the TV. It would get through 8 D-Cell batteries in less than a week, in the end I just ran power out to it.

I did suspect that may be the issue but very surprised the batteries exhausted themselves that quickly. I’d have thought the motion detection system would have compensated but your experience obviously proves otherwise.

But the battery life is only 36hrs so you would need to buy two and keep swapping them out.

The motion detection system would activate the camera continuously, and totally drain the battery fast . A time-lapse arrangement would possibly help.

@MGT did you try the one from Mono? How was your experience with it?
