A recurring question I see from horse owners on social media is for recommendations on cameras that work for yards and stables where there is no WiFi, or access to mains electric so I’ve pulled together the best Amazon Spring Deals on no WiFi cameras to help you find one in your budget.
If you’ve been on the fence about purchasing one of the best stable cameras, the Amazon spring sale is a great opportunity to save some money. I’ve rounded up my favourite deals below to help you choose.
Reolink Go PT Ultra + Solar Panel | 20% off at Amazon Was £199.97 Now £159.99 This is H&H deputy website editor Georgia Guerin’s Reolink camera. The deal includes a solar panel (which has provided her enough power all year round), and all you need to get started is a SIM card (Georgia opted for a cheap £6/month 5GB contract and this was plenty of data).
Georgia previously kept her horse at a field with no WiFi or electric, but thanks to a the Reolink Go PT Ultra camera and solar panel (currently 20% off), she could keep an eye on her horses from anywhere. It’s now on its second year of being out in the field in all weathers.
She says: “The features I really like are the colour night even in total darkness and two-way audio. I have found the solar panel has provided sufficient power all-year round. It’s an upgrade of the Reolink Go PT Plus and for the extra £16 you get an excellent panning angle (355°), more tilt (140°) and an even better image (4K). It also auto-tracks and can send you alerts to your phone.
“I didn’t know I needed it, and now I can’t imagine being without it.”
We’ve reviewed a couple of Reolink cameras at H&H, and we’ve awarded them H&H Approved status. That said, plenty of other camera brands enable surveillance without mains electric and Wi-Fi – and these are some of the best stable cameras I see recommended regularly on social media. They all have slightly different features, but the key thing is they can all be set up to work in remote fields and stables – and they’re all discounted right now for the Amazon Spring Deals sale.
DFGRD 4G LTE Outdoor Camera| Save 19% at Amazon Was £56.99 Now £45.99 This camera is a great choice if you don’t have access to WiFi and mains power. A budget option with plenty of features and a discreet camouflage design.

It is built for the outdoors, great for remote fields and yards and is powered by the adjustable solar panel. You just need a SIM card with a data plan to get started.
Xega 4G Cellular Security Camera | 15% off at Amazon Was £24.99 Now £21.24 This budget camera doesn’t offer as much panning as some of the others featured, but if this isn’t important to you it’s available at a much lower price point.

What we love about field and stable cameras
These solar-powered cameras that run off a SIM card are becoming a game-changer for horse owners wanting to keep a closer eye on their horses. They allow you to check up on your horse while they’re eating, sleeping or – if they are anything like mine – you can use the camera to find out which one escaped first.
Whether your primary use is to help improve your horse’s wellbeing in the stable, keep an eye on a horse you’re worried about, or check how well your fencing is holding up, these cameras can give you peace of mind and save you many unnecessary extra trips to the yard.
You can choose between battery and solar-power options – solar powered setups are more expensive initially, but this pays off in the long-run as it’s rare that you’ll need to take the camera home for extra charge.
