I saw several people checking their home cameras multiple times and multiple cameras and seemed to have no concerns about usage...what (plan carrier) could they have had that I should consider changing to ? Did you leave your phone in airplane mode? The AT&T pkg is for cellular service, ships use satellites…you need to stay in airplane mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your phone will connect to that tower, though your wallet might not like the result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AT&T pkg is for cellular service, ships use satellites…you need to stay in airplane mode My post was rather old as we don't purchase the AT&T cruise pkg any longer. I now leave my iPhone on airplane mode and WiFi on and have at times been able to view my ring doorbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamiroWoods Posted November 28, 2022 #29 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) Hi there! I have an RCL wifi security camera, and it's been working great for me. I can watch my cameras from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. It is a great way to stay connected to my home and family. While living in Ukraine, I successfully used RCL wifi to watch my home security cameras. I have found that the security company oh holding I hired to monitor my house and property is very reliable and has always been quick to respond to any issues that have arisen. Let me know if you encounter any difficulties! Edited November 28, 2022 by RamiroWoods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was like a staple and then he disappeared. I'm not sure. Back when he left the boards, the explanation given by another member was something along the lines of him wanting to spend more time dedicated to his wife and family, or something along those lines. I haven't seen him back since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacyschrist Posted March 21, 2023 #32 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Hey there! I can totally relate to your concerns about keeping an eye on your home while on an adventure. It's always great to have peace of mind when it comes to the safety of your home. When I faced a similar situation, I switched to a home security system from Vivint (https://www.vivint.com/packages/security-cameras). It really helped me with my monitoring needs. Just the other day, my neighbor told me a story about how he was able to catch someone trying to break into his house while he was on vacation.
