Start by calculating per-camera data use and the number of cameras you’ll have. If you record continuously in high quality or stream video, uplink can be hundreds of gigabytes per month; event clips and occasional remote viewing use far less. Include audio, multiple streams, firmware updates and user access. Also decide if you’ll store video locally and push only substreams remotely to reduce uplink. Size the SIM plan for sustained upload capacity and headroom, not just the number of cameras. Plan for peak periods and worst-case scenarios during busy times or alarms. Run a trial at the site to monitor actual data and adjust accordingly. Ensure the carrier plan supports the required remote-management features and that data allowances align with expected usage and any data-usage alerts. If coverage varies, consider features like automatic failover and remote management so the system stays online even when one link dies.
