hi there and good day dear friends


first of all lemme tell you that i am soo glad to be part of this awesome forum
i am very very happy to be here -

its a awesome place to share ideas and experience. Your work is so great - keep it up!!!!



Is it possible to build a off-grid cam with a raspberry pi pico that takes a picture every few Hours

well i think that in the area of Raspberry Pi-off-grid projects, power management plays a crucial role. It's not just about keeping the off-grid-device up and running; No - ist much much more. i think that it's all about ensuring optimal performance, stability, and longevity of the off-grid-project.


well my friends told me that i can do this with an ESP32-CAM. Cheap. Simple. Low power. Established design and software. but i wonder if it is not possible to do this with a Zero or Pico

i am pretty sure that i need to install a library or app for the photo taking. probably we can get motion or I think there's even a camera app included in most pi distributions.
even better if the Pi has a camera. very important - to make sure that the Pi has a battery. what if i have really long times between recharges - well if so then i should have a look into different battery technology or even a solar panel that charges a battery every day for the Pi to drain.

look forward to hear from you

best regards
