1. A system, comprising:
a premises monitoring system configured to monitor for safety of property and life at a premises, the premises monitoring system comprising a plurality of premises devices configured to monitor a plurality of conditions at the premises;
a plurality of client devices configured to communicate via at least one wide area network, the plurality of client devices being located at the premises;
a cellular converter, comprising:
at least one premises network port configured to communicate with the premises monitoring system and the plurality of client devices via at least one non-cellular network;
a cellular router configured to communicate data from the at least one premises network port to a cellular network;
at least one processor; and
at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, are configured to cause the at least one processor to:
receive subscription information indicating:
an uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth allocation in the cellular network for data associated with the plurality of premises devices of the premises monitoring system and the plurality of client devices; and
a prescribed minimum available uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth of the uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth allocation only for data associated with the plurality of premises devices of the premises monitoring system;
monitor first uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth utilization of data associated with the plurality of premises devices of the premises monitoring system;
monitor second uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth utilization for data associated with the plurality of client devices;
determine that a current available uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth is at the prescribed minimum available uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth based on the monitoring of the first uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth utilization and the monitoring of the second uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth utilization; and
in response to determining the current available uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth is at the prescribed minimum available uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth, reduce the second uplink and downlink cellular data bandwidth utilization for data associated with the plurality of client devices.
