4G CAMERAS

4G security cameras are mobile surveillance cameras that use the 4G LTE/3G network to provide live video feeds and send instant alerts. As indicated, a separate mobile service plan is required for 4G surveillance cameras to function. The data usage of 4G IP cameras varies depending on the frequency of live streaming and receiving motion detection alerts.
How Does a Mobile Security Camera Differ from a Wi-Fi Security Camera?
A Wi-Fi security camera uses an internet connection to connect to an app or laptop. Once connected to a Wi-Fi signal, you can use features like two-way audio, automatic tracking, alert notifications, and more via your device. However, it requires a strong internet signal; if a Wi-Fi security camera is too far from the router, it will not function.
A mobile security camera, however, uses a 3G/4G/5G cellular network connection instead of an internet connection. With a cellular data plan, the camera pairs with a security panel containing a cellular module, allowing it to operate far from home. Compared to a Wi-Fi security camera, a mobile security camera can function in locations like farms, warehouses, vacation homes, cabins, sheds, campsites, food trucks, boats, and other places without internet or power sources.

Where Can a 4G Security Camera Be Used?

A 4G security camera can be used in various locations and situations:
• In areas where installing a wired network is difficult, or Wi-Fi coverage is limited, such as indoor and outdoor locations needing security monitoring in commercial or residential areas where network cabling may be impractical or impossible to install.
• Sites without wired network connectivity, like outdoor construction sites needing surveillance where main network infrastructure isn’t yet available. These include places like barns, farms, ranches, boats, and docks requiring monitoring without network infrastructure.
• Remote mountainous or rural areas without network connections, such as vacation homes, cabins, barns, campsites, warehouses, and wildlife monitoring sites, can be effectively covered by this camera.
• The 4G mobile security camera is an ideal choice for areas where wired internet or power is hard to access.
Due to cellular connectivity, security cameras use a 3G, 4G, or 5G module to access the network, requiring a SIM data card to connect to the cellular network module and establish connectivity.
