I need a camera to monitor our dog in our RV. It would be connected to a hot spot in the RV and be monitored remotely on a cell phone.Would this work?

As long as you have a. Wi-Fi connection you should be OK. The problem if you are using a campground network, they are sometimes slow and don't allow for the data to stream. In theory you could use a cell phone as your own network then monitor it from another cell phone. This is a great little camera. We have one for each of our two young puppies so we can check in while at work. It's nice that in the hot summer the display also indicates the room temperature too.

The camera needs to be located near your wireless router. Mine are about 200 feet from the router and both are outside of the house. You can watch the output of the cameras from any internet link. I have software called "Vitamin D" that records the video and lets me monitor on my PC at home. On my iPhone I have an app called Pro Surveilance and it works great. I can watch my house from anywhere.

You can use the Foscam Android App to set it up. You need to set up the router a little bit before the whole thing can work.

I suppose you could hook this camera up to your phone. It would be cumbersome, but possible. Personally, I would not use this method.

I experience the situation. The camera and dvr function normally when connected. To setup for networking with your smart phone or BlackBerry, then you need the zmodo software which can be obtain on the Web at zmodo.com. I have a BlackBerry so I downloaded "I P Cam Viewer" which works find. Recently I was in Canada and was viewing my cameras from there.

Do I need to have something else to view the video on this camera or can I just connect to a monitor and thats it? I dont want to record, just real time monitoring for my garage. What I want to do, is to have a camera wired to my room's tv, so whenever someone is getting close to my garage entrance, I can see from my tv, instead of going to the garage entrance.. will this work?

I'm not sure how far, but my router is in my basement, and my camera was upstairs on the 1st floor....I would imagine as long as you have a signal for your cell phone, you'd have it for the camera.

I beleive this would be an option, in my application I was able to connect remotely to my camera and control and observe as well as have the camera send via email or text as many as 6 images when motion was sensed. I used this successfully in my application and was very pleased with its reliabilty. Image quality was excellent and send/receive times were in the area of 10 seconds.

Absolutely! Download iSpy video surveillance software (free - google it), Set up your camera on your computer or home network. No need to be on line unless you want to remote view (offsite) your camera. I have six cameras set up this way with no internet access.

It has to be a surveillance camera, but I would say it probably works with most. Currently using Lorex cameras and works great

I'm not really sure. I hooked it to a camera that looks like a fire alarm sensor to cover a break area to catch a vending machine vandal. I'd think it would record from any type of camera if you use the right connectors. I can tell you it is not built for the elements so would have to stay in a van or indoors. Wish I could be more help.

It needs to be connected to a computer via USB 2.0 and it also requires 110V AC power. I don't understand your application, but I guess you could stash this with a PC of some type in a remote location together, but the PC and the Camera require power. If the PC was connected to a Wi-Fi or other wireless network, I guess you could use it as "wireless" camera. Not sure this is what you have in mind.

Yes, once you set it up for remote access. I was able to view the camera real-time and rotate the camera from my iPad while traveling. I am pretty sure you will be able to do this from an android device as well.

The remote receives WIFI signal and then records on standard SD cards......it has no hardware or ports to send out information. You could put in an SD card with a cable on ( available from Amazon ) to get the pictures transferred out of the unit via the cable to an SD card on some type of hardware / box etc. that would then send it out.......seems like a lot of work / hardware for what a trailcam already set up with cell capabilitis

Yes! I have mine set up at an entry door to my house. I get an alert within seconds of motion. Then I can use the app to view the video. At any time you can use the app and see what the camera sees. It's a great investment for peace of mind.

I would say Yes. This is a network camera, to use it to just record to view later would be a waste of money. The greatest advantage is to download the Dlink APP, then I can view with a phone, or tablet that supports that APP. We use our existing Cable Companies internet modem / Wireless router. Our camera is on our home WiFi. Newer Smart TV's probably could be used to set up door views, although we only use to watch our dog when we are not home. I can see it also to be used as a baby monitor situation, or to watch baby sitters although I think you have to tell them you video monitor ( without showing the cameras location). Not sure if that helps.

Yes. This unit has a wireless backup camera that works really good. It is just a little slow to switch to the camera but I have it mounted in a pickup truck with a metal cover. So, it might work a little differently than it would if mounted in the trunk of a car.However, I do not like the GPS. I live in a rural area and many of the roads are not located on the maps for the GPS. It might be better if you live in a metropolitan area. Wayne
