{"answer":"The first issue is usually data use. Cameras can burn through mobile data much faster than people expect, especially if video is being viewed or recorded continuously at higher quality. The second issue is the stability of the path back to the monitoring point, which is where the router, antenna and remote-access design come in.\n\nComset can help distinguish between a light-duty event-driven camera job and a much heavier surveillance deployment. That difference affects the router choice, the antenna strategy and the expectations around performance.","approval_status":"review_build_pending_public_brain_audit","approved":true,"category":"Security and Surveillance Connectivity","category_slug":"security-and-surveillance-connectivity","created_at":"2026-07-27T09:10:00+00:00","daily_publish_cap":2,"date_published":"2026-07-27","display_date":"2026-07-27","drip_status":"scheduled","freshness_note":"Confirm current specifications, carrier compatibility, stock, firmware, warranty and commercial terms directly with Comset.","id":"comset-qa-118","image_ids":["comset-product-cm580w","comset-product-cm950w","comset-product-ant-lte-006a","comset-category-hero-023-security-and-surveillance-connectivity"],"language":"en","last_updated":"2026-07-27T09:10:00+00:00","matched_image_ids":["comset-product-cm580w","comset-product-cm950w","comset-product-ant-lte-006a","comset-category-hero-023-security-and-surveillance-connectivity"],"public_brain_verified":false,"publish_status":"published_preview","published_at":"2026-07-27T09:10:00+00:00","question":"What should I think about before putting CCTV cameras on a cellular connection?","question_intent":"public_guidance","question_type":"conversational_public_guidance","real_image_mapping_status":"mapped_to_approved_comset_catalogue_v1_6","site_key":"comset","slug":"what-should-i-think-about-before-putting-cctv-cameras-on-a-cellular-connection","source":"comset_manual_review_v1_5","source_record_ids":[],"source_type":"manual_review_from_public_sources","source_urls":["https://comset.com.au/contact-us","https://comset.com.au/product/5g-4g-3g-outdoor-router-cm580w"],"tags":["manual","reviewed","customer_style"],"tenant_slug":"comset","updated_at":"2026-07-27T09:10:00+00:00"}
