Do you have any idea on the range of the WiFi? I'm thinking it'd be perfect for looking at targets, if it winds up with a pellet well, move the next one more out of the way.

That usually depends on your router more. And what barriers are between the router and camera.
In SD it is only pulling 30 k/ps, HD goes up to 200 k/ps.

I don't have this camera, but I have been able to use my phone as a wifi Hotspot and my WyzeCams will connect to it. I'll try it at 100 yards and see how it works as a target cam.

Which brand with the solar panel did you order? We need to find out what time the bear raids our garbage tote when spring arrives. Let us know what you think of it. Thanks.
Note: I will NOT shoot the bear with an air rifle,

They went down to 25 bucks again so I bought another one.
I am setting up the second one to record my neighbors cat poopting and marking my front yard with urine.

I saw one the last two nights and it came early tonight. I’ll have the video from my pard up tomorrow. It was a perfect head shot. I can’t wait to have the Concept Lite XR 22 that arrives next week so I’m not shooting rats with a 25 cal 
This was a perfect head shot for the P35

Sorry, I got sidetracked by life and haven't had a chance to try it. Thanks for the reminder.

It does work. I set it up using the wifi Hotspot function on my android phone. It's sitting on my 100 yard target stand pointed back toward my shooting bench. I was stilling at my bench when I recorded this video.

So, to be clear you used the android as the hot spot/transmitter 100 yards away from you? 2.4ghz signals are good for 125 to 150 yards unobstructed, in theory.It does work.

Yes, I used my android hotspot in case anyone wanted to know if they could use this setup away from home. The camera was connected to the phone's wifi signal 100 yards away.

Nice idea.Many of you are like me and use your air rifle for home pest control.
I recently updated my camera and want to share it with you.
I have a neighbor with hunting dogs in a kennel that always has dog food on the ground, so I get rats and mice. Two winters ago they found their way in my attic during a cold spell.
Since then I have been using a camera to monitor the area. I was using a cheap home camera connected to a usb battery pack I have a safe shooting location at a bird feeder I put on my fence near the kennels. The fence is re enforces with multiple boards of wood, and there is an oak tree behind that. If its in the feeder, its a safe shot.
This new camera is indoor/outdoor. It is rechargeable with an internal battery. I/O on the bottom includes a slot for microSD, and it is protected with a rubber insert.
I have it set up for motion detection and it will record that activity and alert silently on my phone. It also keeps a log so you can turn that off and just check it to see what time you can expect your pests. It's cheaper than most trail cams i have seen and pretty small in size.
I run an IR flood light in my backyard, so I taped over the IR illuminator in the unit. I haven't found in the setting an off switch for it.
I have been running it 24/7 for the last two days and it is still at 87% battery. I will update with how long it last on a charge.
I bought it for 25 bucks, the price is now 30. Just watch, I am sure it will go back down.
This is the camera I am using
The light I use in my yard mounted on my house 18 yards from the feeder
