    Speaking of battery powered cameras, there already are commercial products such as Arlo and Homeboy:

    Not cheap enough, and battery times will surely vary depending on use, but they are a nice proof of concept.

      @Mickey how quickly do they boot up? might boot it when pir is triggered.

      I thought about it but openwrt is a full linux and it takes 15-20 seconds to boot up so it will be half a minute delay between trigger and response
