Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 4G camera and how does it work?
+
A 4G camera, also called a 4G SIM camera, is a security camera that connects to the internet using a mobile SIM card instead of Wi-Fi. You simply insert a 4G SIM into the camera, and it streams live footage directly to your smartphone via a mobile app — no router or broadband required.
Which SIM cards are compatible with Maizic 4G cameras?
+
Maizic 4G SIM cameras support all major Indian SIM networks including Jio, Airtel, Vi, and BSNL. Any active 4G SIM with a data plan can be inserted and used immediately.
Do I need Wi-Fi to use a Maizic 4G camera?
+
No. That's the key advantage of a 4G SIM camera — it works entirely on mobile data. This makes it ideal for locations like farms, construction sites, remote homes, and shops where Wi-Fi connectivity is unavailable or unreliable.
What data plan do I need for a 4G SIM camera?
+
A basic SIM plan with at least 1–2 GB of daily data is sufficient for standard use. Maizic also offers its own Connect Plus SIM plans specifically optimised for 4G cameras, available on the Maizic website.
Can I view my 4G camera live on my phone?
+
Yes. All Maizic 4G cameras support real-time live viewing on both Android and iOS smartphones via the Maizic mobile app. You can monitor your home, shop, or farm from anywhere in the world as long as your phone has internet access.
Do Maizic 4G cameras work at night?
+
Yes. Maizic 4G cameras feature colour night vision, which captures clear, full-colour footage even in low-light or complete darkness — unlike traditional cameras that only show black-and-white IR footage at night.
Are Maizic 4G cameras suitable for outdoor use?
+
Absolutely. Most Maizic 4G SIM cameras come with IP66 or IP67 weatherproof ratings, making them resistant to rain, dust, and harsh weather. Several models also include built-in solar panels, making them completely wire-free for outdoor installation.
How is footage stored on a 4G SIM camera?
+
Maizic 4G cameras support dual storage options — a microSD card (up to 128GB or 256GB depending on the model) for local recording, and cloud storage for remote backup. Recordings are triggered automatically by motion detection or can be set to continuous recording.
What is the video quality of Maizic 4G cameras?
+
Maizic 4G cameras offer Full HD to Ultra HD resolution, with many models featuring dual-lens setups of 4MP+4MP or 5MP+5MP. Several cameras also offer triple-screen view for wider coverage from a single device.
How do I install a Maizic 4G camera?
+
Installation is completely DIY and takes under 2 minutes. Simply insert your 4G SIM card, mount the camera at your desired location, download the Maizic app, and scan the QR code to connect. No technician or electrician is needed.
