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.
Founders' beta — fall 2026. Limited units, refundable deposit.
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. Self-hostable. Works forever without us. The optional
cloud app is one flat price for the whole property — unlimited
cameras.
How it works
Motion wakes the camera. It shoots full resolution,
stores the original on its SD card, and only then reaches for the radio.
The photo hops the mesh. A preview crosses the relay
backbone in seconds — no cell towers involved. Full resolution follows
on request.
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 a seeded property: two sites, five cameras, a week of photos and
telemetry. No signup, nothing to install.
Request full-res yourself — photos arrive as
the camera's few-KB detector crops. Open one, tap Request
full-res (or Max quality for the sensor original), and a
simulated mesh delivers it through the real pipeline at real LoRa
speed — minutes, not seconds. That's the honest physics of no
cell plan, and the app narrates every step while you wait.
Watch it cross the radio — the Nodes page's
live mesh-traffic feed shows your pull hop the mesh 16 KB at a
time: radio-profile grant, chunk counters, the occasional retry, then
the reassembled photo popping into the gallery.
Snoop the whole property — ten cameras, two
relays, and a gateway on an imagined 100-acre parcel: battery, solar
charge, signal, and a week of telemetry for every node.

The math your cellular cameras don't want you to do
$5–$17/mo
Per camera, on published cellular plans. Budget tiers and annual
billing soften it — it never reaches zero.
$0 required
MeshCams relay through your own internet. No per-camera plans,
ever.
Solar + LiFePO4 power, built for years in the tree — not
seasons. Originals stay on the camera's SD card, so an outage delays a photo;
it never loses one.
Get in early
The founders' beta goes out this fall in
limited numbers. Waitlist first, refundable deposits when units are ready.
