    The attached image is what I purchased in November that seems to have disappeared. However, the new one from Amazon looks to be the same identical one that I have with the exception that the cell data card says that Verizon can only be bought from Eiot. Otherwise, as you can see in the photos...

    Another check-in. It's 4 months now since first installed and the camera is still working flawlessly and is still crystal clear. Not once did I ever have to go to the cottage and reset or adjust anything and I'm not using squat for data. In 4 months I've used 45Mb. I'm getting a much lower plan...

    Just checking in. The camera has been working flawlessly for over two months now and came in handy when we got hit with a storm on January 7th that flooded the street in front of my cottage at high tide. (camera is mounted on garage in rear) That's an inlet to the ocean in the back. I purchased...

    Like I said in my previous posts motion detection and recording have been disabled to keep data usage at a minimum and I'm not interested in that anyway. I only want to use it more or less as a spy camera in case there is a threat of flooding or high winds. The cottage is many years old and, in...

    The camera will be mounted on a cottage in CT tomorrow which is about 500 feet up the street from the ocean. My intention is not security so I have motion detection and recording turned off which saves a boatload of data. I only want to use it to view the place when a storm is predicted in the...

    Here is the expanded and final list which ends my testing for this camera's data usage. For each time listed I accessed and viewed the live video for aprox 30 seconds using the pan where noted. Then I closed out and checked my data usage which in the app. Some times on my list showed more data...

    So far..... This is a little detailed but I temporarily mounted the camera in my backyard then accessed, viewed and panned the video for around 30 seconds each time. This would be the frequency of use when I move it to the cottage after testing. So far the camera is impressive but i don't know...

    I wouldn't be interested in anything unlimited for fear the camera goes nuts like wittaj said above.

    I hear you but the cottage has no electricity or internet and Comcast is the only ISP in the area. So I'm looking at the cost of Data vs the cheapest ISP at $70 a month for a camera I only want to check occasionally. I'll be back.

    Well, the camera I ordered from Amazon came in. It's well built and has some weight to it and I'm impressed with the quality for $107. Came with a 300MB sim card and after setting it up it worked right off the bat. It pan and tilts and gives an SD or HD video. I was able to turn off motion...

    Hopefully the one I ordered comes today but how much data does your camera use when idle? Just curious.

    Thanks. Yesterday, I bit the bullet and bought this one because of the reviews which is pretty close to the one you attached. I will post what I find out when I hook it up. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C5MFN9CJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

    No matter what cameras I look at I can't find an answer so this forum is my last hope. I have a cottage 50 miles away from home that is closed up for the winter so it has no electricity, internet or wifi. I want to buy a solar powered cellular camera that I can access a live view from home on...
