I have one at my southern AO. They're easy to set-up and install. I'll know next week how it performs.

Awesome options for sure. For those who do not have cell service what do you use? I was looking into something like this (mesh networks). I wont go into a ton of details here but think you can get a good idea from the vids.
Some other options (he has a few videos on it)

You can use a micro SD card to store the images and review them later, which is what I did. I set it up the night before I left. I found the camera wasn't able to access our wifi, so I'll be relocating the camera the next time we're there. Our wireless router sucks, and that'll be replaced, so that could resolve the wifi issue. The solar panel for the camera isn't very big, and the camera is about the size of a game camera.
Along the same lines, we acquired some solar wireless motion detection alarms. Here's the solar motion alarm: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KDRR5MM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KDRR5MM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00) Solar can really simplify perimeter security, if you're into technology. Of course, old fashioned trip alarms are effective too, but with technology you can be alerted without letting the intruders know. Multiple layers of perimeter security is essential for group safety. Don't forget razor wire, barb wire, and punji sticks.
Mesh networks are nice, but I think they're overkill technologically.

+1 for razor wire. I have a couple of rolls stored alongside barbed wire.
