Recommendations for cellular cam for rural home

We live on 5 acres in a rural area. Our driveway is about 350 long and I would like to monitor it, esp when on vacation. We have some pine trees that are about 75-100 ft from the house. Home WiFi is weak at potential mounting locations plus cellular would potentially be available even if power lost.
Currently no other security cameras on the house.
Neighboring lot owner uses Moultrie. I have been looking at Tactacam.
We have decent ATT 5G signal. 2 bars on Iphone typically.
Appreciate any advice, suggestions or lessons learned

I have 4 Reconyx cell cameras.I live way out in the country on a gravel road.
I have 2 on the road.1 on either side of my driveway.
Reconyx just came out with a new camera that is insanely cheap compared to what I paid for the ones I have.
$225 for one,$400 for 2.Ordered 1,haven’t activated it yet.
Only camera made in U.S,all the rest are made in China.Have 5 year warranty.They always answer the phone quickly and are very helpful.
They sell battery cable for $10,that’s what I use hooked up to a small 12 volt battery in a ammo box.
I have heard good things about WiseEye cameras,they’re located in B.R.
A good website is TrailCamPro,have reciews of quite a few brands of cameras and a lot of information about game cameras in general

I would look at the Reolink cellular options. Pam tilt and zoom options. App works well and they have ai built in to recognize if it’s a person/car/animal/uknown. You have a host of options for notifications etc.
