The trailcam unit consists of

  1. Trailcam The trailcam needs to be connected to the Pi Zero. This could be done via USB cable to read out the trailcam's SD card. Wireless is another option.
  2. Raspberry Pi Zero W
  3. Enclosure The unit needs to be weather proofed.
  4. Power supply We need to spec the power requirements of the unit (see #27 and #30)
  5. Solar panels or battery pack

I need to check if the current trailcam works with wifi. I think it does. Right now we are using the cellular option but I think we want to switch to a local wifi network at the stables.

We should also figure out the cost of the different items and how to connect these together.
