I think you need to be more specific about what you want to do.

Point the camera at your Weather Rock. Have the rock lighted at night.

ok guys sorry. I want to check the outside weather conditions at a location other than my primary residence. I would prefer wireless but that is not an absolute. I do have power at the location. Cost is a big consideration and ease of install as well.

I am not to worried about wind speed or direction or even temp. Those things would be nice. But mostly just want to look at the conditions in the daylight.

I didn't pay too much attention to it but I noticed these the other day at Costco.

Thanks olf, looks like a good weather station with remote monitoring. No weather cam though.

Can the camera go indoors looking out a window?
do you have wifi there?
can you run Ethernet there from your router if you had to?

honestly there are a ton to choose from. all depends on what you want to spend. I have a camera looking out a window and it was like $100.

What’s wrong with just dialing that location into your weather app on your smartphone instead of doing all this Rube Goldberg stuff with cameras and such?

Probably not

PASig, A view via my smart phone or computer would be neat and give me more of an actual as of the moment view of the conditions.

Thinking it should be pretty doable and cheap. If not then I will dump the idea.

If you need an EXACT location I can't help but when I go here

https://www.weatherbug.com/weather-camera/

and put in my zip code, I see 5 weather cameras within 10 or 15 miles of me... one at a school only a mile away.

Given what you've shared, your issue is with gaining access to whatever camera you opted to use. No internet (and WiFi) presents a problem I'm not sure how you can overcome.

just to confirm, there's no form of internet at the location at all????

How about a land-line phone???

How about cell-phone / 4G / LTE data coverage???

I use the NWS forecast info (today plus the next five days). You can input and bookmark any GPS coordinates. The main forecast will reflect the nearest NWS airport, but below that is your specific area forecast.
 
Here's mine.

The real issue is communication between locations.
Once you solve that then the rest (camera part) is quite easy to determine.
How far is it?
What is between them?
You either need a point-to-point via radio frequency (Wi-Fi is one) or wired (Ethernet, fiber optic for example) or communication traveling via the Internet if the distance or parameters are great or prohibitive.
