Mobile Broadband and Wifi Camera/Webcam

Hello all.

I live in a home with no phone line so am unable to get regular broadband and can only use EE's Mobile Broadband but find that this kind of internet is incompatible with my wifi webcam I use for security reasons.

This is the camera I use that worked at my previous address but am unable to get it to work with the mobile broadband I currently use: https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-Security-Rotational-Required-TC70/dp/B08K3M6N7C/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13Z6G2K7F0GNW&keywords=tapo+webcam&qid=1689022718&sprefix=tapo+webcam%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-2

Does anyone know of any wifi webcams that are compatible with mobile broadband? or should these work and Im maybe doing something wrong? (not tech savvy lol).

Thank you all 🙂

Hello @ladyvesuvius.

Welcome to the community.

What happens when you try to connect your webcam to mobile broadband?

Hopefully, someone here on the community can provide further advice about other WiFi webcams 🙂

Thank you for the welcome.

The cam on the phone app is "offline", the green light on the cam slowly flashes which means "check wifi network is stable". It says to connect a 2.4Ghz connection to a fixed channel (e.g 1, 6 etc), which I do but it still wont connect and the cam remains offline.
