I'd like to use some trail cameras as security cameras around some property. I know that there are cameras made specifically for security but I like the features that come with a trail camera: built-in infrared, camo, strong protective weatherproof case, etc. And it seems like there isn't much difference in price between higher quality security cameras and trail cameras.
Outdoor electric is available to the locations where I would put the cameras.
Does anyone know of a trail camera that can be plugged in to a standard 120v outlet?
Or, has anyone modified a battery-operated camera to use 120v household current instead?
I haven't found anything in several google searches so I thought I would post here.
Converting to solar might be possible but then that takes away from camo and I would still need one or more batteries and probably some sort of inverter per camera.
