Anyone see the potential/possibilities for cell cams?

I think this is rather interesting.  If you can pick and choose when you can activate it depending on your travels.  

But its the cell cams that are in areas of zero cell areas this could be useful as long as it's not so stupidly expensive.

I'm shocked ring cam hasn't gotten into trail cams. I use one behind my house with just enough wifi to capture some cool videos in the woods.

My boss wants to do live cams from some of our bluebird houses. I think I'm going to try to rig up something with a ring cam for those, I just need to figure out how to do live feeds so that anyone can view them...

But you still need to be within a WiFi signal.  This starlink/T-Mobile eliminates the need for cell towers or a WiFi signal.

Right. I meant I'm surprised that haven't started to make trail cams since they cams have great clarity and long lasting batteries

There are numerous better options than ring.  

I've used an old cell phone.  They still connect to WiFi when your phone service is switched to a new phone. 

You can also stream live to YouTube from the phone if you have enough subscribers, if not you can use a free program called OBS Studio to stream live to YouTube from the phone. 

At YouTube you can choose to make the feed public or private.  

Another option is https://m.reolink.com/us/product/rlc-811a/ if you want to zoom or https://m.reolink.com/us/product/rlc-810a/ no zoom.  Both cameras can connect to YouTube thru OBS.  Im not sure but they can probably connect directly to YouTube without OBS.  

This guy is using the no zoom cam

Get a battery pack with a solar charger.  Plug the phone and ryoko into the battery pack.  The phones battery, the ryoko battery and the solar battery pack it will run for a long long time but won't have night vision.
