I have four exterior wired, our low cameras, my part-time home loses Wi-Fi. I can’t monitor my home. Do you have a battery that can be added to keep it up when the Wi-Fi goes down?

Do you know why the home wifi goes down?

Monitoring requires that the base station be connected to the internet.

 

If you are losing power at the home, you could get a UPS and connect that the the base, router (and modem if you have one).  That would keep the internet up through short power outages.  How long depends on the battery capacity of the UPS.

 

If you are actually losing internet service (and not power), then your options are to

  • get a Go 2 camera that connects over mobile data
  • get a router that can switch to LTE automatically when the main internet drops.
