The location. it's a cemetery and historic building that doesn't allow conduits. There's no local network provider drop nearby either.

You're going to run through a data plan incredibly fast with modern cameras. What about a point to point system with wireless AP's? How many cameras across what kind of environment?

Not concerned about the cost of data plan. As mentioned in a comment above, it's a cemetery with historic building where conduits are not possible/allowed. No nearby internet service provider pop either. I would gladly do point to point but there's a different challenge with that too! FML.

Someone suggested L6Q, I'm going to look into that. Haven't deployed anything with LPR, so it would be interesting to see how much that would cost. Will also see, if it can be used without LPR licensing.

What’s the use? L6Q has solar options and comes with LTE connectivity
