The Jetpack you speak of is from Versizon. I am with T-Mobile and they have the Alcatel Linkzone 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot. You are correct about the cloud; I do not care about storying information there since I will only be “looking in” 2 or 3 times a day to see my current status of the door, window and furnace/Temperatures. So, if I understand each of your statements above correctly then:
- I need to set up the two Wyzecams using my T-Mobile Android phone, the new 4G LTE Alcatel Hotspot while I am still at my home…thus, using the same T-Mobile Network.
- Validate the cameras and Wyzecams talk to my app and all is good.
- Drive to the cabin, plug in Alcatel Hotspot, use my t-mobile android phone app, plug my two cameras in and let the cameras find my Alcatel Hotspot.Upon departure, turn off my 4G on the Alcatel but leave the Network on.
- This will be so, when I am at home, I use my Android app… NOT ON MY HOME WIFI BUT ON THE T-MOBILE DATA NETWORK, to call on my Cabin Network that will call on my cameras, to send images. Is this correct?
- When the Cabin Network calls on the cameras, the cameras will call on the 4GLTE to activate but then turn off after my Home App is closed?? This is where I do not understand the technology capabilities.
- As for losing power…that part of your comment. I am hoping the battery unit in the Alcatel will have a “smooth” transition in the case of a power outage, however, the cameras are AC operated soooo, i may be able to find an ac/ battery backup.
