Oh man, don't even think of setting up the cameras off of a wireless system fed from a little solar panel. The costs are enormous.

Wanna know how much those cameras cost installed?? A camera system, including the brains behind the cameras is close to 50 grand. No joke. And you need somewhere to put the cabinet. And there are a hundred other things to worry about. You'd need somewhere to put the camera. I'm not sure about this location exactly, but isn't it a temporary intersection, meaning the signals are hung from wires supported by a temporary wood pole? There's nowhere to mount the camera securely, and these puppies are expensive, not to mention, you need to place the cameras in the proper place for them to be effective.
