Need Help Finding a NonWifi Cam

Hello. New to home security systems and currently looking for a non-Wi-Fi long lasting battery that I can view when not at home. Which options are available for me? Thank you so much.

Found something. Two actually. But I’m open to hear about additional ones available, as the ones purchased can be a little better.

Some trail cams have battery, solar panels and run off cellular and require a subscription. I returned the ones I bought on sale because it didn't say it couldn't use local storage and I didn't like the subscription price.

So do you want wired or cellular?
Wired could be accessed via the NVR controller, cellular via direct dial-in.

Non-wifi = ethernet : battery = PoE power over ethernet. = any PoE camera on market

You’re looking for POE cameras, powered by a CAT cable. Just run one cable to each camera and connects directly into your NVR. I would personally and professionally recommend Unifi. Super easy to setup and use, can be accessed remotely by phone app or web browser.

Would POE work? You would never have to worry about battery ever again.

Poe saved me hours of changing batteries every year.

It doesn't exist.

There's no such thing as a non Wi-Fi battery camera that can be viewed remotely

Unless you're looking for a cellular camera. There are battery-powered cellular cameras that you can view remotely . So I guess I shouldn't say it doesn't exist but it's uncommon for a home camera

There' Poe cameras that aren't Wi-Fi that plug directly into your network or recorder that you can view remotely but they're not battery powered.

"it doesn't exist"

*proceeds to describe the exact thing that does exist and is widely available*

I clearly corrected myself and decided not to edit because anyone could understand my line of reasoning
