# SIMs for CCTV cameras

> Building sites, depots and yards rarely have a line where the camera needs to go. A ThingSIM in the camera or its router gets the pictures back without one.

## What the kit needs

### Enough data for pictures

Video is heavy, so cameras need the larger plans. Event clips need far less than a live stream; start big and move down once you know.

### Reachable when you need it

Watch live or pull footage with a static public IP, or keep cameras private and reach them over an IPSec VPN from your control room.

### Moves with the site

When the job finishes the camera moves on and its SIM goes with it. Pause the SIM between jobs from the portal.

## How it connects

Camera or router → mobile data → ThingSIM core (Private APN) → IPSec VPN → Your recorder (NVR / control room).

## Recommended setup

**5 GB, UK 4-network, one SIM per camera or site router.** Streaming around the clock needs more than any plan here holds; talk to us about a site with several live cameras.

- 5 GB, UK 4-network: £8.85 a month per active SIM, ex VAT
- Optional: Static public IP, £8 a month per SIM
- Optional: IPSec VPN, priced with us
