[talk] Remote monitoring hardware

I have some property in Canada that has a cellmodem connection to the net,
a few Nest cameras, and some weather sensors.

Power is unreliable, the cell link is unreliable, temperatures can be
extreme (mostly cold) and it is physically unreachable once snow hits.  I'd
like to set up some sort of small machine that could connect back to my
network in the US and give me a way to diagnose problems, or log something
more than the absence of a link.

Obviously I would want to use a BSD and in a perfect world x86_64 so it
could be DragonFly.  Has anyone set up similar remote points and can point
to what hardware and software they found useful?
