Advice on temporary security cameras during rent-ready repairs on long-term rentals

[Nadine Wallace]

Does anyone have any advice on effectively setting up temporary battery-operated cameras on a long-term rental property to deter break-ins and squatters while rent-ready repairs are being made before a tenant moves in? We have had two homes broken into and materials stolen recently. We are out of state and have local property managers. We want to set up something short-term with or without wifi. We have heard of using a hotspot or burner phone situation for wifi, but we are not sure how this works. We welcome any suggestions.
