After using this realtime unit I described above...hmmm...if you, or one of you pull this off and it works, update please, as I'm interested in live views.
I just purchased a cell cam that that advertised live views, has a camera/sensor on a gimble, that I can adjust left/right/up/down from my phone.
Also comes with a solar panel.
Just put it out this last weekend, and it works pretty damn good. The ir lighting is way more powerful than any other cam I've ever used, and the motion detection is way more distance than I've ever seen. Also has a spotlight and mic, so has audio to and from. I scared a sounder of pigs away by turning on the spotlight and growling in the mic. As long as the damn cell service has more than 1 bar, which mine floats around 1-3 bars, it works pretty damn slick.
It was only $40, and the cell plan cost $17/month monthly, cheaper of course if you get a longer plan. It will save to the cloud, and also save to an sd card. I'll update more as I use it, see how good it does.
Yes, it worked fine, pretty cool actually. Trigger speed, IR distance, able to move the camera on a gimble to see left/right/up/down, solar panel and great battery life.
Here's the dealbreaker...you gotta pay $17/month to have the access to view real time when you want, and another $3/month to save everything you want to save on the cloud. You can put an sd card in instead of paying for the $3 cloud storage. So, $20 per unit per month is a pricey, and if you don't want to pay that, the cam will not work.
It was only $40, and I thought it worked incredibly well for that, but without the plan, it's useless. Kinda pissed me off when I confirmed this, so I started to look at it closely to see if i could hack it somehow. Biggest problem is all controls for the camera are operated thru the app. The unit doesn't have it's own self contained menu.
