The wireless trail camera with no cell plan.

MeshCam brings its own long-range network to your woods. Cameras sleep in the trees and wake to send; solar relay nodes carry each photo back to the internet you already have, then to your phone. No cell signal needed. No per-camera subscription. Ever.

First hardware batch ships this fall, built to order. See the kits →

Or see it working right now: try the live demo →. It's the real app, no signup.

No cell plans. No dead zones.

Cellular trail cameras charge $5–17/month per camera and go dark where the bars do. MeshCam needs neither. It brings its own network to the woods.

Miles of woods, one connection.

A few solar relay nodes form a long-range LoRa backbone across the property. Cameras wake, send, and go back to sleep (that's why the batteries last) while the backbone carries photos to the internet you already have.

Yours, not rented.

Open firmware, open API, self-hostable app: it all works forever without us. The optional cloud app is priced per property, never per camera. The docs →

How it works

  1. Motion wakes the camera. It shoots full resolution, stores the original on its SD card, and only then reaches for the radio.
  2. The photo hops the mesh. A preview crosses the relay backbone in seconds, no cell towers involved. Full resolution follows on request.
  3. It lands on your phone. The gateway hands photos to the app over your existing internet. Check cameras from the couch, or from three states away.

Don't take our word for it: open the app

The live demo is the real MeshCam app watching Hemlock Hollow, a seeded 100-acre property: ten cameras, two relays, a week of photos and telemetry. No signup, nothing to install.

Try the live demo → Read-only. Poke at everything.

Not sure where to start? The demo tour points at the good parts: pulling an HD photo across the mesh at real LoRa speed, the live radio-traffic feed, and a measured antenna-move before/after.

The math your cellular cameras don't want you to do

Cellular trail cameras
$5–$17/mo

Per camera, every month, on their published plans. Budget tiers and annual billing soften it, but it never reaches zero.

Montmere MeshCam
$0/mo required

No cell plan to buy. Photos ride your own mesh and your own internet: no per-camera fees, ever.
