Good afternoon, I am wanting to install cameras in a remote location. I don't have wifi, but do have a cell signal. Can y'all recommend a set up that uses a cell signal???

Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!

I'm going to piggy-back on this post as I have been looking at cellular modems myself. I got some networking done and a few cams installed for my brother in an all-metal building. Cell signal won't penetrate that damn thing, though it is OK outside. For this one, I need the modem to be outside rated, or for it to be able to accept an antenna feed from about 50-feet away. I have been looking at SierraWireless Airlink cell modems... THIS ONE is a POE modem & router and if fairly inexpensive. The trick to doing this apparently is the way IP's are assigned by cell carriers-- none of them are "public" and it takes some VPN wizardry to get it all to work...
