Montmere

The wireless trail camera with no cell plan.

MeshCam brings its own long-range network to your woods. Cameras sleep in the trees and wake to send; solar relay nodes carry each photo back to the internet you already have — then to your phone. No cell signal needed. No per-camera subscription. Ever.

Founders' beta — fall 2026. Limited units, refundable deposit.

No cell plans. No dead zones.

Cellular trail cameras charge $5–17/month per camera and go dark where the bars do. MeshCam needs neither — it brings its own network to the woods.

Miles of woods, one connection.

A few solar relay nodes form a long-range LoRa backbone across the property. Cameras wake, send, and go back to sleep — that's why the batteries last — while the backbone carries photos to the internet you already have.

Yours, not rented.

Open firmware. Self-hostable. Works forever without us. The optional cloud app is one flat price for the whole property — unlimited cameras.

How it works

Motion wakes the camera. It shoots full resolution, stores the original on its SD card, and only then reaches for the radio.
The photo hops the mesh. A preview crosses the relay backbone in seconds — no cell towers involved. Full resolution follows on request.
It lands on your phone. The gateway hands photos to the app over your existing internet. Check cameras from the couch, or from three states away.

The app: your whole property, minutes after the shutter

MeshCam app photo feed on desktop: a grid of wildlife photos from six cameras across two sites — One feed for every camera, across properties. Saved photos keep forever; the rest auto-expire.

The same photo feed on a phone — Same app on your phone.

Photo detail view: a velvet buck, with battery, radio and temperature readings, and a pending full-resolution request — Previews arrive in seconds over the mesh. Want the full-res? One tap queues it from the camera's SD card.

Node health view: cameras, relays and gateway with battery, signal and temperature — Battery, solar charge, signal, and last-seen for every node — know it's alive without walking the ridge.

Telemetry charts for one camera: battery sawtooth from solar charging, radio signal, temperature over 7 days — A week of telemetry per node. The battery sawtooth is the solar panel doing its job.

The math your cellular cameras don't want you to do

$5–$17/mo

Per camera, on published cellular plans. Budget tiers and annual billing soften it — it never reaches zero.

$0 required

MeshCams relay through your own internet. No per-camera plans, ever.

Solar + LiFePO4 power, built for years in the tree — not seasons. Originals stay on the camera's SD card, so an outage delays a photo; it never loses one.

Get in early

The founders' beta goes out this fall in limited numbers. Waitlist first, refundable deposits when units are ready.
