Looking for a camera to capture images of vehicles coming into and out of our housing area. There's power to the location but no WIFI. Night time light is good as there's a street light nearby. Ideally would like a camera that could connect to T-Mobile's Hotspot plan or to some other carrier. Your thoughts please. Thanks.

What is the use case - general surveillance or IDENTIFY? Do you want plates?
Most here are not going to suggest wifi.
As far as cameras, without knowing what your goals of the camera is, this thread is used as the go to for the new person here outlining the commonly recommended cameras (along with Amazon links) based on distance to IDENTIFY that represent the overall best value/best bang for the buck in terms of price and performance day and night. It might be a 2MP camera in some instances.
The Importance of Focal Length over MP in camera selection
And coupled with that thread is this great thread which will show why all of the same 2.8 or 3.6mm cameras is the wrong choice:

We would encourage you to look at those threads in detail.
It will probably raise more questions than answers LOL.
