I do have a remote camera, but it is not used for an observatory.
It is a Foscam F19900P Outdoor HD IP Camera. Bullet style security camera. $145
IR - yes. Night Vision range to 20m
IP - yes.
Wireless - yes
Wired - yes
1080P
Field of View is 98degrees
I only use it as a wireless device. I purchased a Telstra 4GX WiFi hotspot, dumped the Telstra SIM, and put in an ALDI prepaid. I live on the Gold Coast and this is sitting 129kms west of me (as the crow flies).
The camera is attached to a wall outside, along with a small solar panel. Inside, there is a 12 volt gelcel, small inverter, and the 4GX.
I don't stream video, though I could. I mainly use it to take stills and have a look at the weather and see what animals are walking around - plenty of wallabies, bandicoots, birds. And saw a large python once.
I think (from memory) there is some sort of "push" functionality if you use the motion detection. But with all the animals I figured that would kill my prepaid balance.
Hope this helps.
