This might be slightly off-topic for this forum in which case I apologise, but I couldn't think of any better place to ask.
I'm looking for a wireless security camera that operates via the 3G network, that we can use for monitoring a residential building project while at work. Since obviously power will be a problem, ideally the camera should have a 12V DC power input (or perhaps even be solar powered), and it should be suitable for installation outside. The camera's horizontal viewing angle should be sufficient for monitoring a relatively large area, and motion detection would be a plus.
Because Internet access is non-existant at the premises, the idea is that the camera should not require an Ethernet or 802.11 wifi connection to a PC for its Internet access, but instead should connect to the Internet via 3G (and thus have a SIM card installed in the camera, I suppose, as well as a builtin hard drive/flash disk and its own webserver). Either that, or it should operate similar to a cellphone, where you can "phone" the camera's number using a 3G video call, and then get a live video feed on demand for the duration of the call.
I've Googled around a bit, and this is just about what we had in mind.
My question is whether any of you have had experience with such a solution, or can perhaps provide me with alternative ideas?
Thanks!
