Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, it comes with a cellular chip included. That's what I liked about this one- still works if my wifi is down and has cellular monitoring. You don't have to buy anything extra (like iris $100 extra equipment for cellular monitoring)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The base station has a built in cellular modem, which is active with a paid monitoring subscription. You can also use an analog phone line as a backup to the cellular connection.
