Build real-time wireless camera trap



I am looking to build a camera trap for wildlife viewing, able to capture pictures (or even videos) in decent quality to be able to identify distinct features. I do however need to be able to see the pictures in real time, so the camera would need some sort of wireless connection to a receiving device such as a phone.


I thought of using an FPV setup as used in drone racing, but the quality and range seems to be quite low, and the strengths of an analog signal seem to be latency and fps, which are both not important to me. It would be nice to have some sort of digital signal to be able to do some editing, such as storing pictures. It would also be cool to connect several cameras to one device.



Are there any solutions to this problem? Would a raspberry pi/arduino setup work in some way? Thanks!
