Thirsty for Off-Grid Knowledge
Looking for a closed circuit security / surveillance system to help protect our off grid cabin.
Our old cabin had been broken into in years past, and now that we've built the new one we are hoping to maybe get a system in place to keep an eye on it.
We are 100% off grid, so our solar setup provides our power.
We do not have internet there either, so a remote access/internet type system isn't in the cards.
We've considered buying a Cuddylink system with trail cameras that have a cell plan, but it's another $800 we don't want to spend right now.
Most surveillance systems from Home Depot (QSee) or others are pretty cheap (Under $300).
Just curious if anyone has recommendations on a system that uses very little energy.
We don't need remote access.
Internal storage would be fine because I believe having active cameras there would eliminate any would-be burglars.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
See the link for my system in the signature if you have questions on the solar set-up we have there.
