I read Verizonwireless uses NAT on their 4G/3G networks & that prevents IP cameras from working. Remote viewing on Verizon possible?

I finally got the camera to work with Comcast. I had no problems setting it up with Verizon 4g services.

Since "my dlink" is like any other website you will "should" be able to view the dlink video if setup with a dlink cloud router.

Yes, In order to view the cameras remotely on a computer, smart phone and tablet - the port forwarding rules must be created on the router connected to the modem.

If you download their app to a smartphone, this can be viewed anywhere. I tried it and it works off of an ip address given to the phone. Once set up at the camera with the bar code supplied, it can be viewed on your phone through the app.

They say you can. There are tutorials on it. I haven't done it yet as it requires pointing your ip to a service like no ip or another name service for ips. If you do a search in forums, it's the same as setting up a security camera access point or Remote Desktop service.

This camera is compatable with most any wifi wireless network. It is not designed to work with proprietary security systems. This is incredibly easy to setup and use. You simply log on to the camera with your Iphone or Android device. Register it with the phone, add the Belkin app to you phone, and you are done. Their free cloud service is not the best but it is good and free. Adding cameras is simple. I have 6 of these and they are great.

We live on a mountain top so we DO NOT have internet via cable, satellite, etc. We only have our mobile hotspot, Verizon Jetpack. Most people have a modem which connects to their wireless router. If you do not have an ethernet cable to perform the initial set up for this camera, you cannot use the camera if you only have a hot spot.

Not sure on Verizon but has all protocols for DSL connections and security too. Setup is as easy as putting in disk and answering a few questions. Hope this helps! Its a great modem/router!

No, the remote viewing is totally free, the quality only depends on your wifi. I just bought my second camera

They use wi-fi to communicate, so as long as you are on your local wi-fi network, yes. If you want to see them outside of your local wi-fi network you have to set up DynDNS or something like that so they are on the public internet. You may want to look at Dropcam if convenience of viewing the video outside your network is important to you (I returned my Foscams for Dropcam instead, and I'm very happy).

Yes. I've asked my Internet Service Provider to give me a static IP so that I always know what to enter from a remote location to find my home. I forward that IP through my router to the Foscam camera. The camera itself gives you three different options when you access it: 1) ActiveX, for Internet Explorer users; 2) Push, for all other browsers; and 3) Mobile, for smaller handheld devices. It works well. I cannot tell you what kind of security issues may be inherent in this. I always point the camera somewhere that I do not mind sharing with a stranger.

Yes - but only if you provide the proper internet infrastructure. These cameras are IP cameras. All IP cameras can be "hit" from anywhere in the world as long as they are IP visible. You need to place the cameras on "public" IP addresses. Private IP addresses are commonly used by support providers to group X number of their subscribers behind 1 public IP address. Assume your cameras are on some providers private network. When you initiate traffic to that 1 public IP address, where should it go? There are dozens, maybe hundreds of devices (computers, cameras, printers, etc) behind that public IP. There is no mechanism to send that traffic to your cameras. The private network functions properly ONLY when the traffic initiating a "conversation" starts on the private side. Only then is a map built that says private IP Y wants to see the web page at public IP Z, so when Z sends back the response to X, "NETWORK ADDRESS TRANSLATE" and route the traffic to Y. When a conversation is initiated outside the private network, there is no NAT map established to route the traffic. If you can put your cameras on a "public routable" IP adddress, it will work like a charm. If you put them on a private network, there's no chance. Needless to say, public IP addresses are registered and cost $$$. Public IP addresses are assigned to a specific location. There is no way to take a public IP address and move it across town, without getting your provider involved (read $$$). If your IP address starts with 10.x.x.x, or 192.168.x.x, then you're on a private network. This topic is not easily explained in brief.

When you are in the same room you are on the same local network. To access the camera from a distance you have to set up your router to forward the port (it defaults to 80 which some service providers block, so I switch mine to 82-89. Also most ISPs use dynamic IP addresses which means your IP address can change over time. I use a service like dyndns.org to provide a consistent URL. I have these cameras set up in Las Vegas and monitor them from Chicago all of the time.

Yes, this camera will still record under no network. You just won't be able to view anything on your cellphone.

In case you mean AT&T; Mobile internet, I have it working. My setup:Comcast Cable @ home. Camera is connected via WiFiAT&T; LTE on an Android (HTC One M8)Viewing through the App is great. Viewing on the web client via an external route seems to be a bit buggy. From time to time the video stream freezes until I refresh the page.

No the apps are free, there are several that will work with this system. You obviously need internet service at the location using the cameras in order for you to remote view.

In a sense, yes! Unlike the other respondee, I have successfully used a 4 camera Cisco-Linksys Wireless-N setup to remotely monitor my elderly mother's well-being for 2 and a half years. As a point of reference, I am first and foremost a businessman and not a techie. Accordingly, I would rather spend a little money than tinker for hours. While ardent techies may have work-arounds, you should subscribe to the recommended (during install) DNS service - $19.00/year. Since each camera will need a discreet IP address, the DNS service will give you a really simple remote viewing solution via a browser. I had a lot of success with the service. Camera implementation is really seamless if your local wifi router is also Linksys - but any UPnP router will suffice. Do not use an Apple router - it is not UPnP compliant - and would have been impossible for me to workaround.. Since I also wanted solid on-the-go viewing via my iPhone, I have used uLinksysCam by UBNTEK (www.ubntek.com/). It's free for one camera - though the multi camera viewing version is a $4.99 in-app purchase. It's an elegant, rock-solid app with many capabilities. I have no experience with any Android app but UBNTEK also makes them. If its anywhere near the iOS app, I would not hesitate to buy it. Of course, any smartphone viewing works best with solid 4G, LTE or wifi service. Again, I've been really pleased with my solution. Best wishes ...

The camera and other non-internet features can be used without activation with Verizon. It can function with WiFi connection. Calls, texts and other service related features will require activation with Verizon.
