Do you have to plug into a router or can you put receiver in another room? Is anything but cameras wireless?

Nothing in this model is wireless. If you want to view your cameras online you have to plug it in. My reciever is installed in a closet, the router is on other side of room, just used a longer cord.

Wired would always be better but I think u can buy a wiwireless adapter and connect it to the DVR and then ur wireless capable.

We plug it in to the router to view remotely on our phones but cameras work to view on a monitor without Internet these cameras are not wireless they come with 60 feet cords

Hi purchase the Wifi Antenna extenders for your Wifi router. Try different locations for the camera. Also install the wifi router on a higher level floor.

No, it needs to be connected to a DVR receiver and a power source. Even wireless cameras need a power source . . . . So there is never a true wireless camera. It is best to take the time and wire all your cameras for you security needs. And make sure that they have the right power adaptor if you buy them separate from a kit. All the best.

I have two 9821W cameras. The one with the extension cable is being used wireless. The other one is in a part of my house that does not get a good wireless signal from the router so that one is on ethernet. Amazingly the wireless camera performance is better than the ethernet camera when accessing remotely.

It can be used both wired and wireless. I prefer to have them wired. But if you plan to use it wireless just make sure that your wireless router signal can reach where you place the camera. I use a wifi analyzer on my smart phone.

That might be a far distance. You connect the camera to a box to an outlet. The box sends the info wirelessly to another box connected to the router. From there, it goes into their server to your account. I think it's too far to send the info. I think it's better to be hard wired if it's that far away and that distance to be covered.

Yes, provided you have access to a high speed router in the room or in the facility, you will need an Internet connection and a PC in the room. You will plug the camera into an electrical outlet and from another outlet you will need to plug the receiver into an outlet, then to your router and PC. It is quick and easy to do once you have these connections. Then you can view the camera live on a smart phone anywhere and also record a few weeks of video onto the PC. The app is free and there will be no monthly charges other than the Internet connection Good idea, IMO

No. Each camera also needs to be powered by an electrical outlet. "Wireless" means that no wires are needed between the cameras and the receiver.

What they already said- NO. But, I tried a "wireless" before and unless the camera has its own power (battery), it has to be wired to a power source. That turned out to be less do-able than this system with power and communication going thru same cable.

It is connected via an ethernet cable (no wireless). Personally I bought a cheap wireless bridge ( Edimax EW-7228APn 150Mbps 11n Wireless Range Extender/Access Point with 5 Port Switch ) and plugged the receiver and all my other internet-saavy A/V equipment into that. I figure I will never need to stream more than 1 of those devices at once so why not plug them into a single point.

This camera does not offer wireless capability, although you can make it wireless by adding an Access point in between your router and the camera. An access point is a device that will allow you to connect a device (DVR, NVR, Camera IP cameras, computers) with an ethernet port to this device, then you connect the AP and your Wifi Router together wirelessly creating a network, therefore any devices connected to the AP can communicate over the air to your main Router. This type of installations are good when you have limited availability to run an ethernet cable from your main router to to the ethernet device (DVR, NVR, Camera IP cameras, computers). Please note the you need to have available power at the location where the IP camera and AP will be installed. Thanks

Not wireless. Comes with power supply. Must be wired to monitor or DVR with coax. This is the wrong camera for you.

Sure. But if your router is not PoE, you'll need to get a power supply to the camera for it to work.

Yes; by running the cable you are essentially extending your network by adding another router. Wifi will work fine as long as you are within range. Your camera setup should work the same way.

These cameras do not come with a receiver or transmitter. Being that this is not a hardwire camera setup, each camera acts as a transmitter. All you need is an active internet connection to access the video feed. They simply just need to be within WiFi range. With this in mind, you are able to access the feed via smartphone, to include setting up tamper alarms, in the event an intruder attempts to jam that wireless signal. The limitations to these cameras are mostly dictated by your creativity to set up a custom alarm and trigger platform. Regardless, they perform very well - even at a basic level and as described.

Just a power source, at least with the ADT and Verizon versions. They have a specific router that is does have to be wired to during the initial setup (takes about 2-3 minutes) but once that's done as long as its a secured wireless network, you'll be good to go. That said, having installed these at a few locations, if signal is weak, you may want to consider a LAN connection, but it is generally not needed, even with 5+ cameras on one system. Hope this helps!
