This is not a big project but could be very important with the incredible bitter cold here in the North Texas area it was time to get ready for the bad weather and get a Meraki MG21E Cellular Gateway  ready just in case the main internet went down. Be sure to check out the MG21E unboxing with a over 10 hi-rez photos of the MG21 at: Flickr Unboxing Gallery    The Meraki MG21E comes with everything you need to get started including the antennas, mounting bracket  and screws and is well boxed in an eco-friendly material: Meraki MG21E Cellular Gateway   Even though I was mounting it inside and in a protected climate-controller area it was nice to know the MG21E has a IP67 rating you can see the silicon gasket in this image that give you access to the dual ethernet ports and power jack along with the SIM card slot:  IP67 Rated Gasket On The MG21E   Like everything else with Meraki, it took me longer to collect my tools (level, screwdriver and pencil) than it did to mount the MG21E with the included bracket on my IDF plywood wall: MG21 Mounting Bracket   MG21E Mounting Bracket Mounted   MG21E Mounted   Adding to my Meraki dashboard account and hooking it to WAN 2 on my Meraki MX67, it was reassuring to know I had an alternate path to the Internet if I ever needed one.    ...

I have thought about an "off Grid" Meraki camera solution - But as it was pointed out Meraki NEEDS to be connected to the cloud (Internet) - So from a lowest costs solution - you could use a smaller Meraki MX  (Z) and a USB/Ethernet to cellular adapter - those would have to be in some weather-proof enclosure - perhaps with or without external Cellular antennas.  Depending on your selections the whole setup would have to have power, and that would come from a battery.    Since solar is needed, a battery/solar management device would also be needed.  Depending on the voltages an inverter may be needed.   All of that could be housed in the enclosure.   Depending on the environment - the weather-proof enclosure may or may not need a heater/cooler for the electronics and battery.  This is about as far as I got - the summers here in the Dallas Texas area are sweltering, and sometimes in the winter it really can dip down, my research continues. ...

Nothing really particular was tough with the pole mount - in fact I think it was the most easy mount option for me and my needs.  I did use smaller hose clamps - since the top rail pipe mast was so small.  BTW the top-rail of a chain link fence makes for a great mast and is low cost - plus protected from the weather.  More photos of the install are in in my Flickr Gallery ...
