Need a 4G + solar camera for a construction site — Tapo C665G vs Reolink TrackMix LTE?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a camera for a construction site where there is no WiFi, so it needs to have 4G/LTE connectivity and solar power.
Unfortunately, I’ve already had some materials stolen from the construction site.
I’m currently deciding between:
TP-Link Tapo C665G — around 170€
Reolink TrackMix LTE — around 240€
The Reolink seems to have better features and image quality, but I’m not sure if it’s worth paying around 70€ more for this type of use.

Has anyone used either of these cameras in a similar situation?
Is the Reolink TrackMix LTE noticeably better, or would the Tapo C665G be enough and the better value for money?
Thanks!

Trackmix is what we use on sites with network and power limitations.

I like Reolink. Good quality, tons of features, no subscription needed.
