Spent the last few months looking into why so many home security cameras end up in a drawer within 3 months. It's almost never the camera — it's the WiFi.

Weak signal to a garage, shed, gate, or vacation property. Router resets that silently kill the feed. ISP outages at the exact moment you needed footage. Renters who can't run ethernet or aren't allowed to modify the router setup.

The fix that's been around in commercial security for years but is only now hitting consumer prices: 4G cellular cameras. Pop in a SIM card, and the camera has its own independent connection — completely decoupled from your home network. It works in a shed 200 feet from your router. It works if your WiFi goes down. It works before you've even set up internet at a new place.

We built DualEye around this — a dual-lens 4G camera so you get two angles of coverage without running multiple WiFi devices fighting for bandwidth. If you're outfitting a rental, a vacation home, or just a blind spot your router won't reach, this is the category to look at.

Happy to answer setup or SIM/data plan questions if anyone's exploring this route.
