# Does the camera need Wi-Fi, or can it use the base station’s 4G connection?

## The camera needs its own internet connection through Wi-Fi or a mobile hotspot, not the base station’s 4G.

The camera requires an internet connection through a Wi-Fi network or a mobile hotspot.

The base station’s built-in 4G connection does not provide internet access to the camera. If you use a phone as a hotspot, the phone must have mobile data available.
