How much data or bandwidth does the cloud system consume?

Very little. Video footage stays on the camera's local SD card — only AI-triggered event snapshots (human detection, vehicle detection, intrusion alerts) are uploaded to the cloud. This near-zero bandwidth design makes AirLink ideal for M2M SIM cards with limited data plans.

What happens if a client changes their router or internet provider?

Nothing breaks. AirLink cameras feature a self-healing network design — as long as the camera has internet access, it automatically reconnects to the cloud platform without any manual action required.

Do I need a public IP address to use the AirLink Cloud Platform?

Not for WireGuard VPN models (ASP37, Wi-Fi HaLow + 5G series). The camera initiates an outbound encrypted tunnel to AirLink's cloud server — no public IP, no port forwarding, and no router changes needed. Cameras on 4G static IP or LAN are also supported.

What is the difference between 4G, 5G, and Wi-Fi HaLow cameras?

4G cameras work anywhere with mobile coverage — most widely compatible, no infrastructure needed. 5G cameras offer faster speeds and lower latency for high-resolution or real-time monitoring. Wi-Fi HaLow cameras require a HaLow access point but deliver up to 3km range with minimal power and no ongoing cellular costs, ideal for large-area deployments.

Are solar-powered cameras reliable in cloudy weather?

Yes. AirLink solar systems include high-capacity batteries that maintain camera operation for multiple days without direct sunlight. Batteries recharge quickly when sun returns, ensuring continuous 24/7 surveillance in variable weather conditions.

AirLink FAQ — 4G AI Camera, Wi-Fi HaLow & Cloud Platform

Q: Can I manage cameras across multiple sites from one dashboard?

Yes. The AirLink Cloud Platform is built for multi-site management. All cameras — regardless of location or network type — appear in a single browser dashboard. No need to switch between systems or log in separately for each site.

Q: How far can Wi-Fi HaLow cameras transmit?

Up to 3 kilometers in open-field conditions. Operating on sub-1GHz frequencies, Wi-Fi HaLow penetrates walls, vegetation, and obstacles far better than standard 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi — making it ideal for large properties, farms, and industrial sites.

Q: How does Wi-Fi HaLow + 5G + Cloud Platform work together?

Wi-Fi HaLow connects cameras wirelessly up to 3km without cabling. 5G provides the backhaul, transmitting data from the access point to the cloud. WireGuard VPN encrypts the tunnel with no public IP or router changes required. The Cloud Platform then centralizes event management across all sites.

Q: Is there a free trial for the Cloud Platform?

Yes — 60 days, no commitment required. Visit cloud.airlink-ilife.com to get started, or contact us at info@airlink-ilife.com for a guided onboarding session for larger deployments.
