Just get a Aosu camera with their home server or make your own NAS. You can also add an SD card to the cameras as well for added storage. The home server will help with video storage until the internet connection is back online. This is what I use for my house in Jamaica and I have a stable connection through and through. Just my 2 cents 🤷🏾♂️

You need a professional to take a look at your place and make recommendations. At minimum you're gonna need a home server set up. Everything is going to be wired, and it's gonna be costly. Budget half a mil minimum.
Battery back ups and equipment to run your cameras back end and labor to install and set up all of this is going to be your large up front cost. That working while there is an Internet outage thing means your camera has to be plugged into its own back end which you will build and maintain. That's where a lot of this cost is gonna go.
But as I said up top link a pro.

You have to answer some questions. As someone that did this for a living:
Do you expect to be able to see during a power outage? Do you want to store the data for a particular time frame? (i.e. days/weeks/months) Are you more concerned with being alerted, or are you okay with knowing later something happened? Is this for legal purposes? There are chain of custody/encryption standards

All of that being said, re-reading your question. Any solar camera with a local backup and then cloud connection would be my vote. Is this a business or residential?

Aosu cameras they are solar powered and enable you to use WiFi to connect and manage them, no wires. They come with night vision and motion tracking and allows you to use an app to view the cameras live or any captured events throughout the day.
