A 4G security camera uses a SIM and mobile data for remote viewing instead of a home WiFi connection. It is useful at South African properties with suitable cellular coverage, including gates and remote buildings.
Check the exact mounting position
Test mobile coverage where the camera will sit, rather than relying only on coverage in the house. Confirm the camera network bands, SIM format and operator compatibility before ordering. A phone signal test is a useful starting point but is not a guarantee of camera performance.
Budget for ongoing data
Live viewing, uploaded clips and cloud features can consume data. Check the app requirements, any paid subscription options and supported memory cards. Choose solar battery power for difficult-to-wire positions or a suitable powered system when continuous operation is required.
