Hi. I have four cameras installed in an estate, located at four different entry points and can therefore not be connected via cable. The cameras each have a cellular router for internet connectivity and can be viewed via hikconnect. The challenge is with remote recording and playback since local storage is not an option. I have tried adding the cameras to an NVR located at our office remotely using ISUP but the protocol seems to be clanky and won't give a live view even when the status of the added cameras are online.
Is there a way to get remote recording, bearing in mind that the routers to which the cameras are connected are cellular routers thus have no static IP.
 
What is the distance between the "estate" and the "office" ?
Is there clear LOS (Line Of Sight) between the 2 points ?

There are too many obstructions ranging from trees to buildings. The terrain is also not very friendly. We have considered PtP but in this case, it is not a viable option.
 
Two of them are able to, while the other two do not have an sd card slot. And even the ones that do have can only support a maximum of 256GB, which is quite low considering they are installed at high traffic areas therefore even when set to record on motion, they will still be recording most of the time. There probably won't be play back for two weeks, and that's pushing it.
