    Help needed GSM cctv Camera

    Looking for some help with trying to sort a CCTV camera thats 'Not' WIFI

    Essentially we need a camera we can install at Mother In Laws who has no wifi , just need one outside camera so we can keep an eye on things.

    So we need something mains or battery powered that will take a 'SIM' card and allow remote access for my wife and her sister when required and will alert if mother starts wandering around outside at night in bad weather or she gets any unwanted door knockers.

    any advice and links to products welcomed .

    Checkout the Farmstream 4G static camera for a fairly affordable solution that will probably do the job.

    I included that link to show what the images looked like in an urban environment. It's also available in 4G - fixed the link:

    As I haven’t used the product I suggested or this one it might be a moot point but I suspect the reolink is much more likely to have some advanced features like ai to auto detect human movement vs animals/cars etc & more advanced alerting options, certainly the wired devices I’ve deployed have.

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys

    I think the 'livestock' one is very similar to the Eufy one I found on Amazon which looks a reasonable solution ?

    Yes, I agree. It all depends on exact needs, budget, local environment and user capability to set up the features. The Farmstream unit does have motion detect but probably not particularly sophisticated, which could be a good or bad thing. The solar power option is an attractive feature of the Reolink.
