Heith,
We have done this type of set up a number of times with MT. Years ago at an ISPCON in Chi with horrible service we plugged a 3g USB sprint card into a PR 732 with a wireless card in it and ran a hotspot at the show. Some of the other vendors might remember, we had a little fun with redirects to their sites through the hotspot J If you use a camera program like blue iris, you can just set it to send a .jpg or 2 once a day and it shouldn't be that bad on the usage. If you start streaming though it will suck it up pretty quick.

We were told it could be used for a back up at a remote site if you lost standard access through your regular network. In the past week I have had 2 ranchers hit me for a solution where they could check their water tanks with camera. The ranch property is leased ground so there is no standard wireline or wisp in the area and is way out of our service area. Has anyone done anything similar to this? From what we gathered it would use an existing cell plan for the data usage. I also heard that it could be used on Verizon & Sprint, but AT&T may be an issue. These places all have power at the tank/pumps, so we were just thinking a ubnt camera and this device, maybe a small battery backup, but we were just unsure if the router was a viable product for this application Thanks heith
