The link you sent is dead. A serial link would not work well over long wires. You'd probably need transceivers on both ends (e.g. RS-422). Another, possibly simpler, option is to put the actual phone on the pole (with some weather-proofing) and just run power up there. That way you can use the phone's camera which would be a lot easier.
