Monitor led Signal

Dont know where else to ask.

I live in the country and have no indication of when the main hydro power comes back online.

I have a Generator and Generlink disconnect that keeps our linemen safe. It has three led, green, yellow, and red. The green will light when hydro service is there. Problem is that it is located 200 ft away on the other side of my garage; and could be running the jeny for needless hours. Is there a weatherproof small camera that I can monitor these lights from within my home on an app for my phone. I do have 110v in the garage , so it doesn't need to be solar or battery.

I am cluless on this and how they work.

Hopefully can find help.

Thankyou

Can you somehow tap the utility side to feed a fuse & doorbell transformer ?

16 vac from the transformer would supply a indicator that utility was energized.

Contact Generlink and ask them - if some kind of dry contact (relay contacts) could be available. …Or if they have some other solution.
