WiFi built into the transmitter/receiver just need 5-12v battery and camera. And box to house.

I set up a permanent 2300 target this spring at one of my spots.
26” x 26”
Definitely a challenge across a steep valley.
I have an older Caldwell camera system that has its own WiFi. I used it before I got a Shot Marker. Set up the camera down range on a tripod with a repeater, iPhone/ipad logged in to the receiver and you see the image. Worked pretty good. I think I paid $150 for it used. I need to put it in the classified here.
Taking the wife out west in 5 weeks.
Gonna show her what a real shooting range looks like.
No crowds, no benches, no ROs and no annual use fees...
You've shown some great shooting spots over the years.
No ceegar and squirrel in the pic. WTF?

Ah, there you go.
Eastern Idaho will be as far west as we get.
17 days and around 6k miles round trip. Most of it in the first 2-1/2 and the last 3 days of driving.

Beautiful area
Love Idaho
I picked up a Scopemate last year to mess around with, it is a cheaper alternative to a trigger cam. They have a newer generation version out, but I don't use it enough to really warrant the next gen.
It works well with its app for what it is and the distances you refer to.
600yds, generally it is recommended to back off the magnification some but I went full send to see how it would render.. Not too bad considering some quality is lost uploading file size to YT

I lived there for 5 years. I'd go back as long as it's not the Boise area

I suspect that the target cameras use LoRa, rather than wifi to make the connection - as does Shotmarker. There's more and more LoRa devices coming onto the market and it should be fairly simple to assemble a camera system together. I did a brief search on YouTube and found plenty of content. I believe that there are also some mobile phones that have a peer to peer function ( more research needed on that one).
I did buy a camera, a few years ago that would transmit directly to my IPad - but the app stopped functioning on a later operating systems.

I use my cell phone mounted on my spotting scope quite a bit while shooting. Easy to take videos and when you're by yourself it sure helps spotting shits when you loose them in the scope when actually firing the rifle.
Weather conditions and actual target distance will determine the quality of the video. Sometimes the bullet trace clearly visable and other times not so much. Here's a couple of videos at a couple of different distances to give you an idea of the picture quality on a good day.

I hang around the Lewiston area a lot to fish the Clearwater.
