Looking for 1st hand information or review on a cellular security camera / trail camera.

I am in the market for a cellular camera system ( preferably 2 cameras ) for my off - grid ( no electric ) cabin with no Wi-Fi , but excellent cell signal .

There are just so many manufacturers out there, I just want a system that is reliable and works.

My requirements:

Send alerts to my phone: an alarm function that alerts me directly on my phone if someone is around my cabin.

Be capable of clearly recording people day and night. Offer high resolution for identification.

solar-powered is nice, but battery powered is ok too. I see some have rechargeable batteries, like on a cordless drill.

And the ability to turn it off when I'm at camp, so I don't keep getting alerts when we are out walking around, or taking a pee at 2 am.

I used to buy stealth cams.
But in my opinion you only get half of the photos that the camera takes.
I only found this out by buying a Moultrie Edge camera and placing it at the same spot as the Stealth cam. Just because Jim Shockey says he uses Stealth cams they are still junk.
The Moultrie Edge has No SD card. It's all digital. You clear the daily photos right from your phone. A unlimited photos for one yr is $160.
Once the camera is triggered in 30 seconds you have your photos.
Quick fast and works great.
Call on Sunday customer service a person in Alabama answers.
I did call once.
Load it with lithium battery's and add a moultrie solor panel battery pack it's good for three months without touching it.
And here's the neighbors cat headed down my driveway.
Or the town plow going by.
