I use a Nest camera connected to the marina's WIFI. It works great!

Good idea but the marina has no internet service i was wondering if you can put a 4g router on board and connect to the camera that way as I would like to see the whole of the boat with pan and tilt

I use a cheap P2P WiFi camera, a TP-link travel router that has a USB port capable of accepting a 4G dongle and a Huawei 4G dongle with suitable SIM card. Works great and gives me my own on-board wireless network. Oh - I have it all working off 12v so it is available on the move.

Hi sailor 666 that’s what I am looking for can you view the camera remotely on your phone when you are not on the boat

Yes. The camera dictates the remote viewing app. By trial and error, I found the TENVISTY app works for me with my cameras (all P2P manufacturer serial number supported)on iPhone and iPad. It is a journey of discovery with little documentation... Start with reading the camera specs carefully and be prepared to make experimental purchases.
