Recommendations for driveway detection?
Im in a situation where I’m trying to detect vehicles at the end of my driveway (approximately 1800ft away Birds Eye view), I’ve considered cellular cameras but I want instant notification (within 1-10 seconds) and the current trail cameras don’t notify me until at least a few minutes, I’ve considered WiFi cameras since I have a 50ft tower for antennas I’m going to install my starlink on but wasn’t sure how to wirelessly connect the camera from the end of the drive to the antenna so it could connect into the WiFi (without spending a boat load of money) My best solution so far is motion detection or “wire” like in drive throughs that detect when driven over, somehow running wire back along the driveway to the house, but that doesn’t leave me with mobile notification, is there any fancy sensors I’m missing that may be able to fix all of my problems here?
• instant/quick notification • preferably with mobile notification through my star link wifi • wireless or wired are options if the cable is cheap enough
