It’s not, it’s just that forests are really bad for phone signals. Trees disrupting the signal, valleys and sides of mountains with no direct view of antennas and just remoteness in general. I’ve been in a lot of forests with no cell reception, that’s why you always go with an offline map and tell someone where you are going.

It’s not a case that one of the leading phone company in the world has a satellite emergency mode.

In a forest, away from humans, under trees, you won’t have a signal to send SMSs or get a data connection either.

While videogames are great, a hobby that dabbles with real things will stimulate you very differently. Touching stuff with your hands, the gap between what you want and what comes out of your work, the search for materials and techniques and other aspects of working with real stuff and not on predefined paths, will engage with your brain in a very different way.

Videogames and “real” hobbies (as in hobbies that use real stuff) are great together in my opinion, they complement and fuel each other.

ONVIF needs a user with username and password, you will need at least a web interface to add it to the camera. What’s the problem with a web app hosted by the camera?
