Anyone had luck using dedicated cell hotspots with wifi cameras in remote locations for extended periods?

My experience has been such a mixed bag. Sometimes my connection can last over a month, at other times a few days, but invariably signal is irretrievably lost until I return and pull the power plug then reconnect.

I have a timer set to restart all the devices daily. If my cameras do go offline it’s typically all 3 at once suggesting a network issue but not always. I’m wondering if I’m giving my cameras enough time for the hotspot to re-acquire signal after my timer switches back on, otherwise the cameras ‘give up’ trying to reconnect in the absence of a signal? Scratching my head over this.
