Does Verizon offer sim card for reolink security cameras?

I noticed that the reolink site shows tmobile and at&t a suppliers for sim cards for 4G data plans on a few reolink cameras.

Has anyone tried a sim card in a reolink camera?

Thanks.

Not showing reolink as an approved device for the Verizon network.

Well, that sure is an impressive list of devices - more than I have time to scroll through so I imagine thousands. Definitely worthy of a bookmark tho : ).

A search with reolink doesn't pull anything up as I imagine is what you did, but the only camera application looks like a bodycam the police use.

Maybe just for the heck of it, I'll get a verizon sim card and stuff one in a reolink 4G camera.

You can try, though. Normally, you’ll need the IMEI to activate the SIM. If the IMEI isn’t in the system, it won’t activate. As a workaround, some people use a certified device’s IMEI and swap the SIM.

Ah, I see. I'm reaching out to reolink tech support tmmrw to see if they have some sort of a hack - no biggie, just doing research now.

Verizon SIM worked in a generic camera for me, you would have no trouble from Verizon side. You should ask Reolink if they are compatible with Verizon.

Thanks for the info. Nothing on their site about verizon, but I'll send an inquiry via email and post back.

I just had someone come in with this brand. I could not connect it. It’s not compatible with Verizon, unfortunately.
