Security Cameras
Hello, Does anyone have suggestions on which ones work best with HughesNet gen 5? As I am really wanting some but not sure about them.

I'm successfully using Blink cameras from Amazon. They're cloud based, by default they take a 5 second clip when motion is detected and notify you thru an Android or iPhone app. Of course you can watch the clip thru your tablet or phone.
We have a cabin in the mountains in NE Georgia located in the Chattahoochie NF and 9 game cameras on the property. I have pictures of bears, cougars, bobcats, coyotes, coydogs, turkeys, deer, feral cats and more.
When triggered, the cameras take 3 pictures.. Triggered includes when the wind blows trees and bushes move; as a result, the camera takes 3 pictures. When it rains real hard; the camera takes 3 pictures. Due to wind moving; a camera took over 4000 pictures in 3 days. To a cloud that is a lot of traffic.
What's your point?

Game cameras take pictures and/or videos of everything that moves; even trees moving in the wind, birds flying, heavy rain etc. I delete a few thousand pictures every week. Depending on the settings; each picture is usually 3.5 meg.
Camera1 1245 pictures
Camera2 3925 pictures
Camera3 1248 pictures
Camera4 1032 pictures
Camera5 1102 pictures.
Not something, I want to upload.
We call this bear the peeping bear as he always walks by the bedroom window..
- Do you have the current Modem/ Router combo from HN? The HT2000W.... We have purchased the Blink Security camera kit... Plus 4 addtl cameras...our HN wifi does not reach far enough outside to a specific location on my husband's shop... furthest distance for 2 cameras.... do we need to invest in a third party router ...e. g. Netgear NightHawk x6s 8000, etc.... to get the needed wifi signal or invest in a HN WiFi Signal Booster?
I'm successfully using the HT2000W modem and the Hughes range booster to run 3 cameras on one end of my house. The booster also gives me WiFi connectivity in my separate shop. It's about 100 feet from my shop to the booster, which is mounted high on an inside wall of my attached garage. The signal doesn't penetrate metal buildings at all, which is not surprising.
