FAQ

Before you choose

Which camera do I need?

Choose by the job. For a gate, a shed or a fuel tank where you want to know straight away, a 4G solar camera. For a spot with no mobile coverage, or for watching wildlife and feral animals where you check the card every few weeks, a WiFi and SD-card camera. If you're unsure, tell us what you want to watch and we'll tell you what we'd use.

Will it work on my property?

If a phone shows one bar or more of 4G where the camera will stand, a 4G camera with that network's SIM will usually work there too. If it doesn't, the Signal Guarantee gives you a full refund with return postage paid.

Is there a subscription?

Not with us. You need a SIM card with some data, which usually costs $10 to $15 a month on prepaid. See the SIM and data guide.

Which network works in the bush?

Telstra reaches further than the others across most of rural Australia, but the only thing that counts is the bar count at the exact tree the camera will sit on. Walk out with your phone and check there, not at the house. The SIM and data guide goes through it.
