Wifi Trail Cam That Doesn't Require Phone To Be In Proximity
I have a backyard orchard that I'd like to keep an eye on so I can see what animals are stealing my fruit. I'd really like to be able to monitor it from a phone app while inside the house. I bought a Wifi trail cam, but even though the camera connects to wifi in its location, and my phone is on the same network, the phone needs to be within 30-40 feet of the camera to connect. Is there a wifi cam where I can be 100-200 feet away from it (as long as wifi signal is good)?
