We have several hedgehogs visiting the 'food station' outside the front door ( we had a small busg area next door to the path


Got some nice videos from the Campark T70 esp watrching the fights!

, we think totalling five , can tell the differences between the state of the tails

Would love to get some colour pics so set up the Canon 77D with a remote cable, the downside is i have to crouch and watch through the letter box. It is doing my back in lol

Then had a brainwave. Get a Radio controiled shutter ( tested and works ok) and a reasonable wifi IR cam so i can see the foxes turn up and take a picture whilst sitting comfortably working on the laptop or watching TV .The feed from the spycam would be on the mobile and as soon i see Reynard hove into view, just hit the radio fob and picture taken
Problem ATM is the present camera wifi range isnt that grat

Any recommendations on cams that have a 25ft outside to inside range that are in the cheapo to medium range Not fussed about quality it is just needed to let me know when we get four legged visitors

Oh and if the cam can be 6v powered / or can run off of an USB exten lead from the mins instead of relying on a battery that last a couple of hours it will be a bonus

Thanks
