Product Description
USB-4G-DONGLE-WIFI-T2: a SIM-based backup internet source for CCTV setups
The USB-4G-DONGLE-WIFI-T2 is a portable 4G LTE router that turns a SIM card's mobile data into a local WiFi hotspot — useful if you need to get a CCTV recorder or app online where fixed broadband isn't installed yet or has gone down.
What it does
- Combines a USB modem with a built-in wireless access point
- Distributes a SIM card's mobile data as WiFi to nearby devices
- Delivers wireless speeds up to 150Mbps, depending on network coverage and your mobile operator
- Powers via any USB port — computer, power bank or USB wall adapter
- Works with laptops, smartphones, tablets and smart devices, so an NVR app or a phone checking cameras can both connect
Where it fits for CCTV buyers
If you're setting up a camera system at a site without a router yet, or want a backup connection so remote viewing keeps working during a broadband outage, this device gives you a quick, cable-free way online. It's not a substitute for a stable wired connection to a permanently recording NVR, but it's a sensible stopgap for temporary sites, vans, or remote locations.
Before you buy — check the SIM slot
Units shipped under this listing have varied: some take a full-size SIM, others arrive with a nano SIM slot only, in a different colour (white/red) to the photos. Confirm which SIM format your unit takes when it arrives, and have the matching SIM card, or an adapter, ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the USB-4G-DONGLE-WIFI-T2 take a standard full-size SIM card?
It can vary by unit — some ship with a full-size SIM slot as pictured, others arrive with a nano SIM slot only, so check what you've received before buying a SIM.
Could the colour or design differ from the listing photos?
Yes, some buyers have received a white/red unit instead of the pictured colour, with a nano SIM slot rather than full-size — the seller states the specifications remain the same.
Can this power a CCTV recorder's internet connection permanently?
It's USB powered and designed for portable or temporary use, such as a backup connection or a site without fixed broadband, rather than a permanent wired setup.
