4G home broadband

Lincolnite1 — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 16:49:49 GMT

At present I am on EE wired home broadband; the download speed is about 3.2Mbs and upload is 1Mbs. I live in the country and want to install four Eufy security cameras, but this need a minimum of 5Mbs upload to view the CCTV when alerted , so considering 4G home broadband, but know nothing about it and what data I will need; I have sky and download films, browse, send emails; can anyone help

Hi @Lincolnite1

Welcome to the community.

These types of devices tend to prefer fixed line broadband with a static IP. If you ordered a mobile wifi device over the phone or website from EE, you get a 14 day period to test and return if you're not happy with it for whatever reason.

@Christopher_G : Most fixed line BB, in particular EE's, don't give you a static public IP.

Will a 4G home broadband work with the cameras, and if so how much data do they need

Not particularly well, if at all.

Not much data unless they are continuously recording.

Can you explain why it won't work; as I am now desperate, because I live in a remote area, and the only broadband I can get is wired which gives me 1MBs upload speed if I am lucky and the 2K Eufy cameras need 2Mbs minimum, and 5Mbs for a 4k camera; I was hoping a 4G router would be the answer
