    Got it. They have an ESP chip in them, so they have wifi.

    One is ESP32-C3 and the other is ESP8266.

    But I’m powering them with the included cable, which is pretty decent. You can certainly power it with battery but I have no idea about its power consumption.

      Ah. I suspected ESP had wifi buit-in, but I’ve never used ESP myself.

      If the power draw is about the same as a security camera, it could perhaps be plugged into one of the small solar units meant for an external camera.

      Now that I know it’s wifi, I may just need to get one and see if it’ll work with my solar cells. Should be a fun experiment!

      Thanks for answering my questions!
