I am looking to buy a security camera that will have sd card storage and is battery operated.
It has to have a very good sensor that will pick up people as they come down my front path.
The camera will be placed above the porcg door..the end of the path is aproximately 30' away.
I have tried 6 different cameras all purchased on Amazon and while they work to a certain extent non start recording until I am about 1/3rd of the way down the path.
Can any recommend a battery operated camera that has a long range sensor option.
Thank you
 
I think most battery operated cameras will have the issue of the recording not starting straight away. It's due to the limitations of battery operated. The cameras reserve power and by the time they start recording after motion is detected you will miss the exact start of the motion.
Battery cameras don't record 24/7 so are unable to cache the footage before the motion is detected.

I'm beginning to think you are correct. I have tried 5 different ones and they are not great. The problem I have is that there is no power source in the porch apart from a light switch and I don't think I can run a socket box from that.
