Using cameras with Mifi device
I have my Simplisafe system set up in a boat, and the marina wifi connection is horrible, so I'm using a Verizon Mifi device. The Simplisafe system connects just fine to the Mifi, but the cameras do not. Why is this?

@lscott This is only a hunch/guess on my part but the lag on mifi devices can, at times, be horrible. Have you used the connect check tool on the camera? I would start there and then call Support to troubleshoot.
Please post your outcome here if you get a chance.

Hello @lscott,
Our cameras require a faster and more stable connection through Wi-Fi. And since they need to transmit a lot of data rather quickly, they are generally unable to connect to hotspots and work properly with one.
