Thanks to the trail cam threads. I went with advice on somewhere on here and got the 4K cellular Reolink camera off Amazon and I'm telling you what this thing is amazing absolutely recommend.

I'm doing a test run at the house with it, however I realized it's under a little rain shelter under the focit, going to be mounting it to a pole near a building on the building siding (old barn on property) , however, it will be exposed so what is a something I could mount wood wise using two by fours or something above it to make a little roof for the rain to lessen rain burden that gets on the camera, any ideas on something I could buy and directly amount above it or something I could make?

Thanks!

The camera is pure solar and the data for the camera is based on a Sim card for the camera and I'm starting with an eight dollar a month plan for 2 GB and see how that does for now, and then within the Reolink app I paid an additional $70 for the year for 30 days rolling for storage on the cloud , so $80 total for data so far plus cost of camera ($219)

But based on my preliminary testing, this thing is pretty amazing and curious to see how it does solar wise. I'm gonna be using it for a week at the house and then take it out to my property.

Absolutely awesome so far
