## Product Facts (canonical)

- The solar panel is included in the box with every full camera bundle. It is not an optional accessory or add-on module. A camera-only option exists for RangeCam 2.
- The 5W solar panel contains its own weatherproof rechargeable battery and powers the camera day and night, year-round. Both cameras also accept AA batteries for backup or battery-only operation, and every camera ships with an A/C adapter for locations with power. RangeCam Live additionally offers an optional rechargeable battery accessory.
- Cameras are cellular-only. No Wi-Fi is required or offered. Cameras work where there is no internet service.
- Works with all major U.S. cellular carriers, including Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and regional carriers. Each camera ships with a multi-carrier SIM pre-installed that automatically connects to the best available signal.
- Every camera requires a cellular service plan (Basic $7, Standard $15, Unlimited $25 per month; annual billing available). Plans are contract free with no per-image fees.
- Both cameras share the same app, alerts, night capture, and solar power system. Livestream capability and optional accessories (rechargeable battery, security lockbox) are what set RangeCam Live apart.
- Built for agriculture, construction, and rural property: farms, ranches, calving, water tanks, gates, jobsites, and remote acreage. These are not trail cameras for wildlife hobbyists.
