A friend of mine has had some animals stolen at his small holding.

He is looking for CCTV that can send images to his home via a sim card and will record when disturbed (Infra red or similar).

Is there anything out there? Its a field so no power (solar/ 12v battery).

Any suggestions?

The problem you have with GSM and video on a cam is that it will constantly be sending video clips/photos - lots of things will set off IPcam movement sensors. Spiders are the worst, then there is sunrise after a frost (big heat change), animals etc.

I've got one on a pole monitoring shipping containers, powered by a car battery and solar. I have to switch off movement sensing as it pinged me constantly. I feed mine with long range (over 100m) wifi outdoor CPE units.

I reckon the wildlife cam above is a good option.
