Cheers, Jim
Does your rig include a laptop or NUC, etc near the mount, which you control? If so, is it simple enough to plug a normal webcam in, and place it so to see the overall situation?

You can use an included webcam utility, Windows "camera" app, or VLC.
That is of course, if you're remote controlling this laptop/NUC from indoors.

If its a laptop, the inbuilt cam may suffice. You can play with gain etc to get a useful picture. Consider affixing reflective tape to various items to bring out a "stick figure" view.

Some thoughts...
