    I suspect that they limit what you can run on the wi free service, as you are basically using someone else's broadband. Also I think the speed is very limited, just 2mb/s or something like that.

    Thanks for that information, I might abandon that plan.

    Horizon wifree uses different authentication than your normal WiFi connection. Most likely the camera does not support it

    AFAIK you cannot connect to your own wi-free.
