Default Solar Small WiFi Streaming Live Camera

Does this camera exist out there?
* Solar Powered
* Small in size
* Live Streaming (not photos)
* WiFi with good mobile phone reception

I'm not experienced in this so might describe things that aren't possible or incorrectly. I'll try my best.

I want to take this camera out to a remote location, attach it to a sunny place where it can be powered by solar. No batteries (or the solar recharges the batteries is okay). No power available. Head back to the city and be able to view it on my phone. Yes, there will be a good cell phone reception at the location. Not interested in still photos. Not interested in motion sensor pics. I want to see live streaming video of what is actually happening at the live moment. Sound would be great. I can create a website, or whatever needed to log into to view it. Is it possible to have 10 of these cameras and be able to switch back and forth between cameras and see the live stream? Cameras won't be near each other. Have to each be self contained and independent.

I'm just wondering if this is possible? Seems like everything is possible these days in stuff like this. Thanks for your input and expertise on this. Much appreciated.

EDIT: WiFi would be available at the location. Can the camera automatically connect to the local WiFi ? Or I connect it remotely to the locations WiFi through my computer or website I create?

One thing I know, you better have a lot of data on your plan. Video eats up data like crazy.

WiFi would be available at the location. Does that help with the plan issue? Can the camera automatically connect to the local WiFi ? Or I connect it remotely to the locations WiFi?

What powers the WiFi at the remote location, how is it connected to the internet?

This might work?

@dmcbride
That looks pretty nice! I think that might work! Thanks! It describes photos, but can it live stream?

The location has power and internet WiFi....just that I don't want to use it. I want a self contained unit/setup which is completely independent other than using the local WiFi signal (which of course is powered by electricity, etc). I would have complete access to the WiFi passwords, setup, etc.

There are so many Wifi security cameras out there now that I'm sure you can find one that fits your needs. The ones I use are only for indoor use and use power but work great to remotely check on my animals in the barn when I'm out. They have live feed and two way audio from my phone. Just searching "solar wifi security camera" brings up a few on Google. Alternatively you may be able to get a regular outdoor wifi cam and hook up an external battery pack with a small solar panel. Although that may get cost prohibitive.
