Only need 1 camera
Needs solar or battery power
Needs to record video and not just pics
Needs cellular service as its too far from the house to pick up wifi (would be nice to have wifi capability if i ever relocated it closer to house)

Any suggestions?

Tactacam makes a security camera now that functions similar to the game cameras. Can use solar or batteries and sends via cellular. I love their game cameras and would assume this is just as nice.

Do they make something like this that can hook to cellular and wifi if i ever move it closer to house?

If possible, would see if you can buy a spool of Cat 6 outdoor Ethernet cable off amazon and run or bury it out to camera. Then get an outdoor camera that runs off POE (power over Ethernet) which is good to around 100 yards or so. Now you got 1 connection powering your camera and hard wired to your network for a very reliable connection. POE cameras also going to be a lot cheaper than anything cellular.

This guy is slightly on the goofy side but covers the basics with most of his comparisons.

If you’re into S&M, like talking to William (from India) and generally like being miserable, spypoint is what you want
