Lora is interesting for projects such as this I did a similar data capture project which I moved from WiFi to lora (http://rodyne.com/?p=844 http://rodyne.com/?p=844) and achieved a massive increase in range and battery life thats why I was keen to peek at the innards..
- jcims 8y agoWould Lora work for game/motion cameras? Moving ~20-100mb per day?
- danielvf 8y agoNo. LoraWAN is silly slow - that’s the trade off it makes for super low power useage. And the fair access policies with it restrict you to a max of 38Kb per day of data.
- jcims 8y agoWhoa, glad i asked! I'm seeing these lora/wifi/ble combo boards for ~$20, maybe the move is to use lorawan for signaling and wifi for the data transfer.
- boznz 8y agoNot sure about LoRaWAN as I've never used it but the LoRa chip I use (the SX1276) is just a RF data modem that can work data rates up to at 300Kbps, however at this speed your range will be about the same as WiFi. Using the system as intended and getting any sort of range out of it requires splitting the signal across multiple channels and data rates drop off very rapidly when you do that. There are much better and cheaper solutions if you dont need the range.
