Game cams with iPhone apps?

[feather13]

Hi all!
I'm looking for a waterproof game cam I can set up outside my coop since we've been having problems with raccoons and stray cats. I've never used one before, so would ideally like one that immediately uploads video like a Ring doorbell. Does anyone have something like this that they could recommend? Thank you!

I think I’ve seen some people use ring products for this purpose. I think that Ring sells a few types of cameras.

do a search on this thread for “game cam” and you will find threads- some of them discuss models and their functionality.

Check on Amazon. They have some WiFi game cameras.

Also check on YouTube for some good examples and videos.

I'm using an indoor Wyze with a micro card and put it under the roof/tarp to protect it from weather. Two big storms and it's still working. You can buy after-market weather proof covers for them. I'd suggest the Wyze Pan Cam as it offers a motion tracking and the camera will give you close to 360 degree view when you put it into its sweeping motion detection. For $25 to $35 for the camera and $9 for the sd card, you cannot beat it , as long as your WiFi signal reaches the coop.

I have the pan cam and a regular one.
I keep one on my incubator.

I have my regular one setup so I can watch Chicken TV while I'm at work. Was going to use my Pan Cam and bought the outdoor weather kit for it, but decided I need it for home security more than predator watching.

Here is what is see and how it tracks motions. I have the alarm setting for motions turned off.
