battery operated motion sensor cameras

I moved this thread from science and technology since there was no feedback from that forum-
I'm not very tech savvy, and am interested in getting a battery operated camera (the kind that has a motion sensor which starts recording once it detects movement, then sends a notification to your android). Looking to spend around $100-$150. I've been researching it quite a bit and, one of my concerns has been whether or not the signal given out by the device could be picked up and therefore serve to broadcast where the hiding spot is (or would encryption eliminate this problem? ).
This would be for a grow setup i have in the woods. Thanks

I wouldn't worry about someone in the woods with equipment to pick up tiny data transfer signals. All I pictured was some dude with a proton packs worth of equipment on his back just monitoring for random transfers.

If your grow is in the woods, you're gonna get a wireless notice every time a squirrel, deer, bird, whatever goes past your grow and trips the sensor and after enough extraneous trips to your site to check your camera and only see critters, it's going to get old and risk someone seeing you go to your grow. By time a person walks by (if they ever do) you're going to be feeling like the camera is just crying wolf again.
Most likely i would be placing the camera inside the small camoflauged tent (in my signature below), so it would only get triggered if someone looked into the tent

Yea. Encryption won't stop anyone from being able to see the signal and find the source. Encryption will just prevent them from reading the information the signal carries.
But I agree, what are the chances someone is going to hunt for random radio transmissions in the woods?
How far do you need to transmit this signal and how often? I think something saves the images locally like a game camera would be a better idea.

thanks for the feedback, guys...i would be needing to check it pretty much daily (mainly due to concerns of the slight chance of a hunter stumbling upon the sight), and the signal would be travelling about 20-30 miles to reach my android

Again I wouldn't worry, a jpeg or gif sent 20-30miles of a dude in the woods or the opening of a tent isn't going to have ANYONE alarmed or suspicious.

It is possible to build what you want... but I don't know if it is worth it... You can use a raspberry pi with a webcam, a PIR sensor, solar panel and an UMTS stick. Would cost about 100-150$
I am an IT-professional it is easy for me to write a software for a device like this. For someone without programming knowledge it would be hard to impossible to construct something like this.

Damn 20 or 30 miles. How do you plan to transmit that far? Are you going to use a cellular network to connect to the internet out in the woods?

UMTS signal should be available it the woods. The UMTS stick could act like a modem or send your a SMS if a motion is detected.

This is just one of those posts that feels really ill conceived. No offense, but why do you even have to grow 30 miles out in the sticks anyway?

That's what I thought about... I don't get it 
I just wanted to post that it is possible. I would never spend money to a project like this.

Hehe. I also do software for a living.
I agree this isn't that difficult with the right hardware and knowledge. But why do it?
First why grow that far out?
Second why pack all that gear out there? At that point wouldn't you just want to make a few beds out there and hope nature is on your side?
Third what happens when you do get an alert that a hunter found your camp? Assemble a strike team? Abandon the grow and gear?

thanks for some of the suggestions, guys . To answer some of your questions... 1). it's not feasible for me to grow indoors at this point, and i've had a good deal of success with outdoor monotubs and cased trays. 2). I chose a spot fairly deep in the woods for obvious stealth concerns, and this area is about 20-30 miles from the nearest wifi access spot (i have an unactivated android i use for free wifi). C.) I've attempted many outdoor beds...some were successful, others a total waste of time and energy (seems it's always a crapshoot)...main problems have been with rodents eating grains (as well as pf cakes) and tearing the shit out of patches...then i built chicken-wire cages to keep em out but the shrooms never grow quite as thick, abundant, or consistently as they do in the tubs
4). if i find out someone has stumbled upon the spot (which is unlikely, but I'd like to minimize this risk as much as possible), i would most likely just abandon it
E). thanks for the software offers

You consider doing truffles inside for stealth grows?
I assume you already have jars of grain colonizing in your closet or w/e. Why not just grow truffles? https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/13431948/page/1

it seems like there must be some better option than this. anybody who might come across this setup is going to find it suspicious and if the authorities get involved who knows all the ways they could trace it back to you. perhaps you would do better if you just rented out one of those storage units. i have a friend that practically lives in one and doesn't get any problems.
