Remote Camera that can record to local storage/livestream to youtube

I’ve been tasked with setting up a live stream of a local Great Blue Heron Rookery and as you can probably imagine, we have 2 main hurdles:

  • No Power
  • No Networking

The site is roughly 650m from power and networking and we had a couple ideas on how to set this up:

  1. Solar powered Point to Point from our main building to camera site + networked camera + battery for nighttime/low solar potential times
  2. LTE Solar powered Trail camera (biggest downside to this seems to be that most LTE cameras seem to only record short bursts of video and don’t have an option to easily save to local storage or run for continuous viewing)
  3. Attach a camera to the roof of our building that has “giga” zoom and can see nests from the comfort of our electrical circuits and networking.

Has anybody set anything like this up? I’m somewhat at a loss as none of these seem like the “right” choice.
