Security Cam
Our 221RB is tucked in for the winter at a local storage lot. Any recommendations for a battery or solar powered wireless security camera that we can access 24/7 from our phone or laptop?
Thanks!"Smacker"

Ring makes a battery powered camera with a solar charge panel, but do you have WiFi service at your storage unit to connect to internet? Also, the Ring cameras save that battery by only recording when there is motion or when you want a live view, not full-time. I haven’t heard of one with its own cellular service, but it may exist.

Do you have access to a WIFI at the storage facility? If so then the list of WIFI security camera is long but you will need to add to their network. I use Wyze at home. They wont brake your wallet and work great. They do need a power source though.
If you dont have WIFI, then some of the hunting/trail camera can access the cell towers (at a cost) and have a solar panel.

I would get cameras that have HD or 4K resolution and a good night vision. Also deterrent capability with light and alarm would be good.

If you can't find a way to hook up a camera to a WiFi, you could always get a dummy camera with a flashing red light. It won't actually work as a camera but it may get criminals to move to the next trailer.

There are trail cameras that hunters use to watch critters go up and down trails.
They're battery/solar powered and some use cellular data to transmit the videos... (Others just save the videos for later)
Take a Google on that and see if that looks interesting...2021 Transcend 261bh
