When setting up an off-grid security system, property owners often search for the “best mobile network for CCTV cameras.” They look at coverage maps to decide between EE, Vodafone, O2, and Three.
The reality is that tying your security to a single network is fundamentally flawed.
Why There is No “Best” Single Network
- Bandwidth Requirements: CCTV requires high upload speeds. A network might show “Full 4G Coverage” on a map, but if that specific mast is congested, your upload speed might be 0.5Mbps—useless for streaming HD video.
- Micro-Geography: You might choose EE because it looks great on the map, but a large building next door might perfectly block the EE signal from reaching your camera’s antenna, while a Vodafone signal easily bounces around it.
The “All-in-One” Solution
The best network for CCTV is an Anywhere SIM.
We do not force you to choose. Our unsteered multi-network SIM cards give your CCTV router access to the combined infrastructure of all four major UK networks.
When you power on the camera, the SIM actively tests the airwaves. It looks for the mast providing the strongest signal and the best data throughput. It then locks onto that network. If the environment changes, it seamlessly fails over to the next best option.
Stop playing the coverage lottery with your security.
