Mobile hotspot for portable security system
I've seen a few similar questions but no concrete answers. Has anyone used a spare phone or mobile hotspot to provide wifi to a Simplisafe system to utilize the webcams? The simplisafe system was super easy to setup and I realize it can work without wifi, but would like to be able to utilize the cameras to keep an eye on rehabs while vacant, and provide that extra layer of security. It doesn't seem like it would require a ton of data for those cameras and I'd love to try out a prepaid or pay as you go hotspot sort of solution.
Anyone have any success with a system like this?
