Automated deployment systems where solar powered mesh network repeaters with two camera channels each (SBCs) come online and handshake/pair then push auto-configurations, SSH, lighttpd for IP camera images, etc. Then go to secure mode to lock it all down and configure it for operating mode.

Edit: think in trees, weatherproofed with solar panels

What hardware do you use? I’ve looked into this and found power management really challenging.

Power HARVESTING and having a downtime/idle hours is key in my experience.

I like the Banana Pi Pro because it has onboard wireless and two camera channels built in. People often get third party bolt-ons that further complicate power consumption issues.

Hey this is great, thank you!

Incredibly interesting. How can I get more details on this project?
