I have the reolink pt go , its okay but since i have had it coming up to 2 years its been replaced 3 times under warranty. Plus where I have it fixed I need a handyman to come and take it down for me which is annoying.

The SIM card I use is the Vodafone v but these aren't available anymore, so ideally you would use the mobile signal checker https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/mobile-coverage

then choose the one with strongest signal

A tip here is to go to somewhere like hotukdeals and check sim offers, remember that the main networks also have companies that piggyback off them eg Vodafone supply Asda, lebara and voxi. 30 day rolling contracts would be best.

I have the reolink go and the gopt. Had them 3-4 years, they're very easy to set up and any issues I've had, reolink support have been super helpful with. I've had a battery problem and a solar panel problem. The company were out of stock so sent me the Amazon link then reimbursed me. I'd certainly recommend them. I also have the Vodafone sim, so can't help with that.

Yes mine have been replaced 3x now under warranty too. Good customer service but not sure its good that they need replacing so often. I would say they need to be under cover because they are not waterproof.

I have had a ReoLink Go working fine for over 2 years. the SIM card was a Vodaphone data only SIM that came with the camera. Have a shop around for data only SIMS, mine was about £4 per month if I recall. The main point is picking a provider that had good signal coverage for the camera location (I orginally had an issue with Vodaphone 4G coverage but its improved significantly lately)
