SIMM card for my security camera

[JDam]

can I get a simm card for my camera?

Hi @JDam 

I'm a little concerned here as if you want a SIM card for your security camera, that would require a data only SIM card and public mobile does not offer that. Furthermore, you should check with the company who made the security camera what the requirements are needed to use a SIM card. I'm pretty sure purchasing a SIM card from Public Mobile and a plan will not work in the camera. But once again, it's best to reach out to the security camera maker to confirm. 

If they don't give you a direct answer, you can reach out to a CS Agent to confirm this information.

if you are buying a new sim card, yes, you need a new plan for it

But if you already have a PM sim card with a working plan, you can use it to test the camera first.  Once you see it working you can buy a new sim card and activate a new plan

so if I buy a simm card do I buy a plan too or does it run off my cell plan?

this is the APN settings you need, but you need to check with your security camera manual and check how to update it accordingly

Apn is the settings that has to be configured in a device to enable it to operate

so if I buy a simm card do I buy a plan too or does it run off my cell plan?

[JDam]

If your security camera takes physical sim card , YES.  You just need to make sure the APN is set correctly
