I set up trail cameras in remote areas to watch bears, mountain lions and other critters. Getting there is very hard so it keeps me in shape and I am always fascinated when I can watch new footage.

once I have more time I will try classifying and trimming the videos with AI so there is a tech component too. And maybe in the long run do my own cameras that have better detection than the usual PIR sensors that trigger a lot for moving branches or leaves.



How do you manage power source for the cameras, protection from natural elements, and what about internet?


The cameras are sealed and a set of batteries last around 3 months. There are cameras with cell connection but that gets pretty expensive and doesn’t work in remote areas.
