It CAN be done, but it's a PIA. First, you must have a business account with AT&T. You then need an i2gold option for your hotspot. This will allow you to have a static IP for your hotspot. Because AT&T wireless uses double NAT for accessing your hotspot you cannot possibly ping or remotely access your hotspot without a static IP. Good luck with it.
You don't need a static IP with all WiFi cams.
I use two CloudCams with a Verizon 4G connected hotspot. It was a piece of cake to set up.
Using an iPhone app, I can access my two cameras from anywhere.
BTW, data usage only starts when you access the cameras -- they aren't constantly streaming data.
For temp and humidity data, I use a LaCrosse Wireless Temp & Humidity Monitor.
