ForkHorn Report post Posted July 17, 2017 I thought these were about to be made illegal? I saw it somewhere on here. It might be worth it to double check before you invest a bunch of money 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yotebuster Report post Posted July 17, 2017 Tell me more about these buckeye cams? I googled them and their site was down but found them for sale. Looks like you have to drive within 2 miles and download them on a computer? I'm looking for a cam for my land where I live. The area I have it is only about 1/2 mile from my house so I think this would be ideal, keep the cell company out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZLance Report post Posted July 17, 2017 Buckeye Cams have 2 different systems... a PC based and a Cell based. I only use the Cell based. Basically you find a spot where you have at least 1 bar of service,and you deploy your cell base there. Then from this one cell base you can run up to 250 cameras of that one cell base. It's line of sight from the Cell Base. They also have Echo units which act as a sensor or a repeater. You can daisy chain the cameras and echo units to reach where you want. Distance between units or to cell base will vary based on which antennas you use... standard dipole antenna will get you up to 2 miles, while a yaggi antenna can get you up to 30 miles. So when you have a deep canyon with no cell service, no problem. Set up your cell base somewhere up high that has service and then put your camera down in the bottom of canyon where there is no service and bingo...you got live pics. If any of you guys have,any questions, message me. The initial investment is a little steep, but after you figure out how much money you will save in gas, time, and vehicle maintenance, it will eventually pay for itself.
