Custom trail cameras using Raspberry Pi

Hi Josh,

Definitely possible!
I’d check out the following components, let us know if you have any alterations and we’ll see if we can find a more suitable part.

The battery is a bit tougher than the rest of the components, once you get your software working (possibly handling the power to the camera and 4G module) then you’ll be able to get a gauge on how much power you use.
I’ve got one of these at home for super rough Pi power requirement setups but a power profiler or Otii Arc would be better suited for measuring power consumption.
Overkill mode might include a SLA battery and step down module to make sure its powered for as long as possible (if you leave the system on the battery might get damaged).

Just some options above to get you started!
