Camera Recommendations

The solar-battery-usb c is actually pretty easy depending on how big/ugly you can accept.

  • There are small solar panels that directly go to a USB Type C cable, but they lack a battery for night
  • There are the USB-providing solar panels meant for other outdoor products/cameras that include a battery and could work with an adapter
  • There are solar battery packs with USB (both regular and C ports, and the G3 Instant does not need C for the power rating)
  • There are larger "portable" arrays that often include USB ports (usually for camping)
  • There are solar charge controllers that include USB

For the floodlight, gotcha! No, I do not think they offer an integrated floodlight/camera, although you CAN directly link them via Unifi so that motion on x floodlight will trigger the specific camera and vice versa.

I really like my Blink cameras... I really worry about the Amazon control of them going forward. One reason I bought the new "local storage" hub for them. But even if they store the pictures locally they still need to be controlled via the cloud. Ugh.
