Summary
Hi…I’m back. I’ve been on/off trying to get images/video from the middle of a forest for years. I started here with sensors 2022-2023, went off and tried 2.4Ghz WiFi, Wifi HaLow, SDR etc and only 2.4Ghz WiFi worked but is a PITA. Anyway, FYI EU HaLow doesn’t work (non hobbled HaLow does) and SDR needs a Ham licence to transmit. I’m back with a LoRa PLUS Eval kit I just boughht and have dragged my “sunburnt” Dragino gateway out the cupboard. My goal is to sent images ESP32CAM > LoRa PLUS > Gateway > TTN LoRaWAN > webhook to my server. Question: Is this going to give you hassle or problems?

If you limit your transmissions to 30 seconds a day and adhere to the legal limits you are fine to use LoRaWAN on TTN.

For images I don’t think this will work without very aggressive compression, so you will have to use LoRa without the WAN part and that isn’t TTN and doesn’t work with the stock firmware of your gateway.
