how many images, tethered or not

any camera is limited by three things
1,, power
2,, heat generated
3,, storage capacity
as you know power can be by a dc supply and any heat can be dissipated by cooling
storage capacity is the main factor even the biggest card will not do what you require
this link will give you an estimate of the requirments.https://cam-do.com/pages/photography-time-lapse-calculator
hope this helps you out
The OP mentioned retrieving data data weekly.
If the interval between shots is not too short the this could be done by many types of cameras. For example a Nikon D7100 can do interval shooting up to 999 shots. Its battery holds up for a week running, especially if AF and other not needed is turned off. (Tested running for 12 days continuously on a spring outing). With the 999 shots 5/hour can be done for a week. A 64 GB chip should be enough for that many RAW captures. The chip and battery need to be replaced and interval shooting restarted. Other DSLR may perform similarly. This simple set up may be enough for the purpose.
With tethered camera much more is possible, even without connection to the grid. For example a std DSLR with solar power is used by USGS at a remote location up on Mount St Helens. With a tethered camera on the power grid + internet, images could be pulled off and sent over the net.
