OK it's over.... Had a fun year duck hunting with wild swings from best hunt ever to worst and back again. I'm glad the ordeal is over and time to do some other stuff. So to close out this thread I'll show you how I got a blink cam to work miles out in the swamp with no cell service.
Here is the home base. The starlink is converted to run off 12v solar. The round thing on the pole is a nanobeam. It beams the internet where ever you point it to another nanobeam. This is also converted to run off a 12v power source. My trouse has no power so the only way to have full time power is solar with lifepo4 battery
Here is the home box. Charge controller to keep the batteries charged. Converters to make the correct voltage for the starlink 48v and 24v for the nanobeam. Two power over ethernet injectors to feed the them. I used two solar panels I got off fb market place. They have zero problem keeping the unit charged even with the added draw of lights and my old man's cpap running off it. The starlink only requires 29watts and the nanobeam only draws 8watts.
Here is the remote box a few miles away out in the swamp. Mini version of the home set up. Charge controller with a recycled panel feeds it. The 20ah bat can run for two days or so with out charging at all. The converter makes the power the nanobeam and pushes it out through the injector. A lil 5v usb c converter feeds the travel router
In the last 3 months I only had two outages. Mice ate the ethernet cable on the remote nanobeam. Put a rodent resistant cover on the cable and problem solved. The other was the wind flipped the panel over. I had set it on a dead bush.
Next year I'm going to install a 4k pan tilt zoom cam to get even better images.
Till next year...
