CCTV and video surveillance

Routers, antennas and SIMs for remote cameras and NVRs, with enough upload for live viewing and secure remote access. This is the application we are asked about most, from a single camera on a gatepost to a full site of IP cameras on a building plot.

Typical set-ups

A few cameras and an NVR on a remote site

The NVR records on site and you view it from a phone or the monitoring centre. Upload speed is what matters, so choose Cat 6 or 5G for more than a couple of cameras, and mount a MIMO antenna outside the cabinet.

Typical kit: Teltonika RUT951 or RUT956, a Fullband MIMORAD antenna and a fixed IP SIM.

Single camera on a pole or gatepost

A compact router, powered from the same supply as the camera, or a PoE router that powers the camera itself.

Typical kit: Teltonika RUT200 or Proroute H685T PoE, and a low-profile antenna.

Cameras uploading to a cloud platform

Cloud cameras dial out, so they do not need a fixed IP. A multi-network SIM keeps them online if one network drops.

Typical kit: Any of our 4G routers with a multi-network data SIM sized for the upload.

Things to check before you buy

  • Upload speed at the site, not download. Test it where the router will sit.
  • How you will view: manufacturer cloud, VPN, Teltonika RMS or a fixed IP SIM.
  • Data: cloud recording and long live-viewing sessions use a lot. Recording to an on-site NVR uses almost none.
  • Signal inside metal cabinets: put the antenna outside.

Questions

How many cameras can a 4G router support?

It depends on upload speed and camera settings rather than the router. On good 4G, one to four cameras on sub-stream viewing work well. Beyond that, use 5G or Cat 6 with a good external antenna.

Do I need a fixed IP SIM for CCTV?

Only if you connect directly to the NVR from outside. Cloud cameras, VPNs and Teltonika RMS work with ordinary SIMs.
