setting up a network of cameras connected to a server via WIFI

We need to set up a wildlife monitoring network based on camera traps in Doñana National Park, Spain (see alsowildlifeobservatory.org).  We are interested in setting up a network of cameras connected to a server via WIFI  in this large area to centralize and process the information. The long range WIFI is really good of this flat area and covers all surface. We aim to collect in real time information from many cameras.

Do you have experience in camera trap networks which can work and send automatically information via WIFI in such contexts? 

Thanks




In China, a tiger project does,  Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park. 30000+ camera traps, real-time, 4G, 700M, TD-LTE.
