I looking at a bunch of solar wireless cameras for my girlfriends little ranch to look at our animals and to catch some mail theft aholes. We have a bank of mailboxes at the corner of our street. I'm getting tired of not receiving stuff I ordered online . I have two telephone poles to pick from to mount them on. The camera needs a good zoom . In the one picture I'm starting by the mailboxs and that's the pole I want to mount them on . I have a wifi camera on the garage it works OK but the wifi is not strong enough to reach the front or the back by the barn. Like a 4G lte .Any body use those kind of cameras ? What's the cost for the cell service for them ?

Following. I need a solution for a dock camera that has no WiFi coverage near it so it would have to be cell based as well. And have its own power.

If Ring made an outdoor battery based camera with the solar panel for charging it that was also cell based id be all over that. Just take it to my cell provider and have them add it like a data device to my plan, then join it to the Ring app.

Bough one on Amazon from a company called Eufy. Cellular, solar, zoom, pan, tilt. Service is 19.99/mo. Seems to work great so far, I have one on my desert property. The app is easy to use. I think it was 129.00.

I use REOLINK cameras on all my jobsites. They have a LTE option and work great. Track movement and recording or live coverage. The also have a timelapse option. Stay charged and get pretty beat on. They sell them on AMAZON

I use a $10Mo T-mobile sim card for each one.

I have a few Arlo Go 2 cameras with service through Verizon spread throughout the ranch, battery life is completely dependent on how many times they get triggered. Hook up a solar panel that's exposed to sunlight all day and they stay charged at 99%.

Same, multiple on my normal Verizon cell account and they cost $10 a month for the service

Check out some trail/game cameras. There’s a company that uses all networks to transmit. There is a subscription of course.
