Cameras without WiFi?

I have a new Simplisafe system purchased in Sept. 2022. I don't have home wifi. I ordered an inside camera and an outdoor camera - will they work without wifi? Will I get an alert notification on my cellphone if the outside camera picks up movement? Thanks.

Hi @jsobutka ,

All of our cameras do require WiFi. Unfortunately, while the built-in cellular connection in the Base Station is great for sending alarm signals, it's not strong enough to support the huge amount of data in video. So the short answer is sadly no, you'll need to have WiFi at that location for those cameras to work at all.
