hi I am thinking of putting a nanny cam into an elderly relatives property to monitor the activity of certain visitors.
there is no Wi-Fi available so I was thinking about mifi? no idea what I'm talking about or what I need.
I think a month would cover the issue.
many thanks for info

Don't know. Some areas of the uk are so congested that it is hit and miss just opening simple web pages.
most are mainly interested in download speed, but you are interested in upload speed.
A steady, constant, quality video stream could be a lot of data. Cameras do not cover everything and often are limited.
Suspect with the correct camera it may work for quick and limited items like the front door cam
thought about something like this, but expect to hear a lot of tv. My mother had a £16k bed salesman with potted plant gift around for MANY hours around, and I recorded them.

Hmmm going to be more complex than I thought then. Thanks for info. I’ll look into those.

It really depends on why you need it. You could just record locally, but obviously if this cam is to provide CCTV for break-ins etc, the person could just take the storage device.0
