I know some crabbers who have cameras and I would like to eventually get one to watch the crabs at night. What do people use? Also I have WiFi but its slow. Again I have no idea what to get camera wise and what will work.

I personally have a Wyze Cam, the original version. It was only $25 at Petsmart and it does the trick! Night vision works well enough for me.

You’ll download an app with it and the free version will allow 12 seconds of video every 5 minutes when triggered by movement. You can get a SIM card though and record all night!

I love being able to watch what they’re up to at night, silly crabs!

Is WiFi an issue as I don't think I would be able to get a WiFi camera do to poor signal and it sucking all WiFi.
