Your camera SIM card (nano-SIM) is attached to a larger card with a QR code and barcode:

  • ICCID: A 20-digit code printed below the barcode (e.g., 8901 2345 6789 0123 4567). The ICCID is also printed on the back of the SIM card.         ICCID

9. Where is the SIM card located in the package?

The Reolink SIM card is attached to the camera’s packaging, usually inside the box containing the Quick Start Guide/Operational Instructions. If you don’t see it upon opening the package, check the QSG box.
