Modern IP cameras belong to two types: they are outdoor and designed for indoor installation. There are also so-called camera traps, but we will leave them outside the brackets.
The main advantage of CCTV cameras with SIM card
If the video surveillance camera is placed in a residential apartment, office or entrance, then usually a special connector or Wi-Fi module is enough for it. But if the device is outdoors, wired communication may not be possible. Not to mention the fact that you can forget about the signal from the router. Fortunately, the built-in GSM module saves.
Since the picture will be sent to the server wirelessly, the following locations of the video surveillance camera become possible: lampposts, fence of a protected area, wall of a private house. Yes, even a clean field, if only there was affordable electricity! And this is the main advantage of such a device.
The best manufacturers of CCTV cameras with sim card
In the world there are not many companies involved in the creation of CCTV cameras. And only a few equip their devices with a slot for a SIM card.
Reolink — specializes in IP cameras that use a wire only to receive power. And top models can use for this purpose a bundle of a solar battery and a lithium-ion battery!
Sectec is a company engaged in the creation of video surveillance cameras (outdoor and indoor), as well as car DVRs. Usually its devices have a low cost and a relatively good matrix.
PS Link - it is her IP cameras that are most common in Russia, because they are produced in St. Petersburg. And the love of buyers is explained by a very wide range - it includes devices with a variety of specifications.

- Matrix: 1/4 inch, 1 MP
- Movie: 1280x720 pixels, 25 fps
- Optical zoom: no
- Wireless modules: 3G, LTE
- Protection class: none
A good security camera, which is usually installed in front of the entrance to the apartment. And it doesn’t matter at all that in this case the Wi-Fi connection will be unstable - you can use a SIM card instead.Also, the device is often bought to monitor a private house when the owners are on a long trip. The camera belongs to the dome type, it includes motion and light sensors, so it can start recording video automatically by sending a notification to the owner's smartphone. The IR illumination should please, the range of which is more than enough to view the room. In reviews, the camera is not praised only for the matrix used - it turned out to be very modest, and therefore we have to be content with an HD image.
- Communication is carried out via the LTE network
- Has speaker and microphone
- Easy setup via app
- No rotate function
- No protection against vandals

Typically, outdoor IP cameras are very large. But the Arlo Go is little more than your average action camera. This allows you to place it even in the apartment or on the way to it. To reduce the size, the manufacturer had to abandon some of the internal components. For example, the GSM module here is not supplemented with support for Wi-Fi networks. It is understood that you must install a SIM card. Also, the manufacturer had to abandon the powerful processor, as a result of which you will be limited to fixing the picture in 720p resolution.But you get a wide viewing angle. And here there was a place for a microphone and speaker. But the best feature of the device is its easy integration into the smart home of Google and Amazon.
- Has a motion sensor
- Built-in high capacity battery
- You can use a memory card
- No remote turn function
- The video is not in the highest resolution.

Top 5. SECTEC ST-P5109-3G4G-1080P
- Average price: 11,500 rubles.
- Country: Russia (produced in China)

- Movie: 1920x1080 pixels, 30fps
- Optical zoom: no
- Wireless modules: Wi-Fi, 3G, LTE
- Protection class: IP66
This outdoor security camera has a waterproof housing, so it does not require additional accessories that save from raindrops. The device also includes a GSM module that supports LTE. This means that the picture is transmitted to the server without any slowdowns. Its resolution allows you to examine in detail the attacker, if one appeared in the frame. You can only complain about the lack of optical zoom and rotation functions here. Because of this, you will have to rely on a lens with a fixed 80° field of view. In the dark, an important role is played by infrared illumination with a 40-meter range. Other features of the camera in the reviews include motion and light sensors, a microphone with a speaker, as well as the ability to install a memory card.
- Built-in LTE modem and Wi-Fi
- The camera is not afraid of rain
- Bright IR illumination
- No swivel mechanism

- Average price: 17,750 rubles.
- Country: Hong Kong
- Matrix: 1/3 inch, 2 MP
- Movie: 1920x1080 pixels, 15 fps
- Optical zoom: no
- Wireless modules: 3G, LTE
- Protection class: IP65
This IP camera does not use the best two-megapixel matrix. This resolution is enough to capture a picture in Full HD. One can only regret that the frequency does not exceed 15 frames / s. However, for video surveillance of a private house or even a street, this is quite enough. And the low bitrate in connection with this will also contribute to the lack of load on the network. As a result, the camera stably copes with its task even somewhere in the village or gardens, where only 3G-connection is used instead of LTE. And if you believe the reviews, the device pleases with a wide viewing angle (110 ° are indicated in the technical data sheet). And only the IR illumination does not work as well as we would like - already ten meters from the camera the picture becomes poorly distinguishable.
- Not afraid of the rain
- Wide viewing angle
- Rich equipment
- No optical zoom
- No swivel mechanism
- May stop working in extreme cold

Almost the best outdoor security camera, endowed with almost all the features that you want to get for far from the largest amount. It is thanks to them that it can be considered the best choice for protecting a private home. And it's not just about the 4G module, which allows you not to be afraid that the length of the wire is not enough to connect the device to a router or other equipment - just insert a SIM card into the camera. Much more important is the 355-degree rotation function. In some cases, a speaker and microphone may come in handy. Not forgotten by the manufacturer and IR-illumination, providing good visibility in the dark. Equally important is the 5x optical zoom. Shooting is carried out using a 2-megapixel matrix - this is enough to capture the image in Full HD resolution.

Most often, this IP camera is purchased for video surveillance of the territory of a private house. Also, with its help, the street is perfectly visible, because the matrix located here captures the picture in Full HD resolution.And this is the best choice for those who can only provide the device with a power cable - data can be sent to the server wirelessly using Wi-Fi or an LTE network. It will be extremely difficult for intruders to damage the camera, since an anti-vandal case is implemented here. And you can see their faces in detail using the optical zoom, when the focal length changes from 13.5mm to 2.7mm.

An almost perfect device for outdoor video surveillance. Even if something is happening in its far corner, it can be viewed in detail using the 20x optical zoom. And it is not necessary to connect the camera by a wired method - it is able to send a video signal through its own GSM module. You just need to remember to insert a SIM card. Support for LTE networks allows you to count on the fact that video in Full HD resolution will be viewed without any slowdowns. And this model collects laudatory reviews for the presence of a rotary mechanism.It is also called the best for the superbly implemented protection of the case from moisture and dust. Someone may not be satisfied with the lack of dynamics here. But this is not a problem either - any external speaker is connected through the appropriate connector.
