- Local Storage: Choose cameras with local storage (microSD or NVR support) to avoid relying on cloud services. In Canada, local storage is especially useful for areas with unreliable or expensive internet access.

- Installation: Consider weatherproofing for extreme Canadian conditions, including snow, ice, and subzero temperatures. Look for cameras with robust housings (IP66/IP67 rating) and cold-resistant batteries.

- Extreme Temperatures: Some 4G or other non-WiFi cameras’ batteries or electronics may struggle in northern winters. Check the rated operating temperature.
