I have brought a 4G EE WiFi mini as i was under the impression it could be a good replacement until my actual broadband is connected and so i wanted it to be connected to my security cameras whilst im away but i am unable to get it working. My phone connects to the wifi but i am unable to access the internet or connect the wifi to my security cameras.

You may find yourself up against a limitation of EE's mobile network. The EE mobile network uses Carrier Grade NAT (CGNAT) resulting in a double NAT, which means that you don't get your own public IP address but share it with other users. So you can't be uniquely id'ed on the Net & therefore your LAN cannot be addressed from outside for unsolicited accesses. This is unlike fixed BB.

 

If this occurs there is nowt you can do to avoid it.
