CCTV systems, can you monitor them without a landline based internet service?

[Imagedude]

I want to install a remote CCTV system in my house, one that I can monitor remotely. Sadly I do not have a reliable internet service as I am supplied by overhead lines. My modem often needs rebooting every few hours, more often if it is windy. Are there any systems that will work with a SIM card rather than a hard wired modem?

There are CCTV systems on the market that can monitored via the mobile phone system rather than landline
I had a similar system installed in my old flat if you phone has video conference capability.
The system works by. Having the cameras. Tied to a system monitor AMD that in turn connected to a mobile if the alarms.are set off it it send a live video feed to your mobile and you monitor any intruder
Also you can also program txt commands

If you have a 3G phone you can. The phone would email u the pic when the camera sensor is triggered.

it is possible to reboot your router remotely but doing so every half hour sounds wrong have you ever tried another router ? I have over headlines and reboot once or twice a year.

Have a wander online over to Misco.co.uk and look for home/office routers with 3G fallback like the Draytek Vigor2830 that switch automatically to the mobile network when the landline falls over. Sadly this particular model is not cheap at £130 but there are others out there. Failing that just connect the cameras to an old'ish laptop dedicated to the task with a 3G dongle, this way you're even covered if the mains power goes out for an hour or so.

There are specialist routers designed specifically for CCTV systems intended to run on 3G Imagedude, You can "plumb in" your existing CCTV or build a system around one.

TPLink do some more cheaper 3g routers

Also you could use amobile phone as the cctv using ipwebcam or similar.

Also the wirelesshotspot of an old mobile could be used instead of a routers
