Thanks for the quick replies. You are right I was asking about a retired phone without a cellular plan. I guess I didn’t think this one completely through because it only makes sense that hot spots require a phones data plan. Hot spots are for when you don’t have access to a local network.
My real problem is that the wifi network where I want to install the camera requires a browser log in for each device connected to it. I think I have found an inexpensive solution though. I bought a portable router that I can connect to the facilities wifi using a browser on my phone. The portable router creates a private network that I can then connect my camera to. Since the camera is on my wyze account I should be able to monitor it on my phone. The router is being delivered tomorrow so hopefully I will be able get it all up and running soon.
