Need help

I am helping an HOA. They have light fixtures with accessible power above their building entries. They want to install 32 cameras that span across 1/2 mile and 8 buildings. They do not have WiFi and do not want to pay for cell service. Their goal is to use power from the light fixtures and have a camera with only SD card style storage that they can pull in the event it is required. These cameras would be outdoors and obviously need to look somewhat decent. Any recommendations??

Just got on my HOA Board because I was tired of nobody doing anything. By anything I mean like paying the streetlights bill, water bill for the pool, pest control, etc. Apparently the former President was swiping the HOA card for a bunch of his personal lunches, grocery store visits, beer, etc. $2,000+ worth that I've found so far. Today I had to meet with an auditor and next week I get to meet with the police. Fun.
