FYI, best luck on streaming is from Metro for us. I stream a good 200gb+ every month. after about 100gb I might see a bit of de prioritization but I just disable LTE and get a solid 5-12gb speeds.
I was lucky getting on with their 3rd line free so now we have on line pretty much dedicated as a direct connect wifi device using PDANET+ if tethering is needed or as just the WAN device when connected to laptop with the Windows hotspot enabled. that is a twitchy setup with the Windows hotspot, it can be a tad high-strung & fussy but it works allowing us to provide web access to all our devices via wifi...
oops, I digress... but with Metro you can get decent deals, and other carriers but you need to look at what service is like where you are wandering.
The whole idea is kinda overwhelming and can become a big investment. Still a phone with hotspot ability in the right $30-$95 unlimited plan is pretty simple. I don't think you need a ton of hotspot bandwidth just to check the camera. Now if you have it stream constantly yo another always connected device that will burn up data. Doesn't see like the OP needs more that a few gb/mo really. Heck metro has a device that connects to the ODBII port on cars made post 1997. It's something like $10/mo with I thing, 2gb hotspot data and it just sits monitoring your vehicle even has an app to check the device. I think a normal phone plan is better but this is an interesting way to have an always on hotspot yo use in a pinch.
Just so many ideas and options...we've probably drives the OP to cover after a simple question... d'oh!
My advice is go simple and think of an inexpensive, even used phone to plug in and use as a hotspot all the time. After that there are ways to build a more robust system a piece at a time if you find it's nice to have.
