Given what is shown, minus the solar panel part, you can create such an IP camera using a RasPi Zero W, one of the small 5 MP camera modules for the Pi, and a copy of MotionEyeOS - and do it all for under $50.00 USD.
I have such a camera monitoring a part of my house. That price figure is also using Amazon prices - I'm certain you could do it even cheaper through other sources.
Another option (which I posted in another comment to this) is this neat little module that I've been thinking of playing with sometime:

Even via Amazon, you can get a pair of these for around $30.00 USD. Add some cheap enclosures, and a bit of codework (there's a few projects and github repos, but nothing polished) - and those would be some cheap, but nice, IP cameras.
No idea how well these (or even my RasPi system - my camera is indoors looking outside thru a window) would fair in the elements over a long period.
