How does Reolink Go connect to the Internet?
Reolink Go uses 4G LTE cellular network. Like our mobile phone, Reolink Go needs a micro SIM card and cellular data plan (both require separate purchase) before using.
Can Reolink Go connect to WiFi and not have to use a SIM card?
Reolink Go only supports 4G/3G cellular network and doesn’t support WiFi connection.
How much data will Reolink Go use?
Data usage of Reolink Go depends on the bitrate you set up. 1 hour of live feed in Clear mode (default bitrate: 1.5Mbps) will use about 1GB of data. And if you use 1GB of data to stream live feed in Fluent mode (default bitrate: 160kbps), you can watch for 10 hours. Based on that, you can estimate the data usage to choose the right data plan for you.

No. Reolink Go cannot share network with others. Each camera requires a micro SIM card.
How long does the battery last?
Reolink Go comes with the 18650/3.6V/7800mAh rechargeable lithium battery. Normally, the battery lasts for about 2 months in Standby mode. And if you access the camera for live feed, playback and configuration or the camera is activated by motions, the battery will last about 500 minutes. Reolink Go will send you the low-battery notification if the battery level goes down to 10%.
Note: Reolink Go is not compatible with other brands’ battery.

How does Reolink Go alert you when motion is detected?
When there is the movement, Reolink Go sends push notifications or email alerts to you instantly. The siren or customized voice alerts sounds at the same time to warn off the unwanted. You can set a schedule to decide when to enable or disable motion detection based on your needs.
How does Reolink Go record?
Reolink Go records videos when it is activated by motion. Motion clips are saved in the micro SD card by default (needs separate purchase) or uploaded to
Reolink Cloud (if you subscribe).
Also, if you want to record clips or take a photo from live video, you can hit Record/Snapshot button via Reolink App or Client. These pictures and videos will be saved in your phone by default, instead of the SD card.
How long does Reolink Go record if it detects the motion?
Reolink Go will record videos for at least 6 seconds when there is a movement. If the motion continues, the camera will keep recording.

this article to learn step-by-step configuration guide.
What's the max capacity of micro SD card supported?

It can only save 3000 motion clips (i.e. 1500 motion events) at most, even though the SD card is not full. We recommend 16GB micro SD card that is enough for usage.
