can the DVR be connected to the router wirelessly, via wireless adapter/dongle?

Put the dongle in and follow the instructions. It will connect wirelessly. You don't need a cat5 wire, like Justin mentions. I don't even know what that is and mine works fine with no hardwire connection.

so it was not clear. Can you use the the USB port to connect a wireless adapter ?
158051
No, Cat5 wired connection is your only option to connect DVR to the router.

Yes. My router is in another part of the house. BUT you can not view the cameras on your phone or tablet unless they are on the same router with your DVR. So you can't be at the mall and view the cameras. At least, I haven't found away to do that yet.

Hello BrianThank you for your inquiry. Yes this device would allow for a wireless connection from your DVR and HDTV.

Run a cat5 cable from your camera to router and connect to provided white dongle to your router. plug power cord to dongle in at that location.

If you add a usb tv tuner (for example from Hauppauge), a "live tv" menu appears with simple dvr capabilities. More info is at www.gigaom.com/2012/11/13/cord-cutters-wd-tv-live-ota-dvr

If you are asking about IPv6, then I think the answer is no. I didn't see any IPv6 configuration information in the setup process. I could be wrong, but I am strongly inclined to assume that the cameras and the dvr are both IPv4 only.

If your laptop has HDMI or rgb port you can. If not you may need to buy a adapter. Also if you have internet, connect the DVR to it and view cameras remotely

Yes, but you will have to have Foscam go into your router and forward you internet ports so it can be accessed from any device and/or web. I had Foscam do all my setup due to the fact that it's their camera and they know what to do instantly. I hope this helped you.

Unfortunately no. The recorder must be connected to the router that is receiving the signal from the cameras. The saved recording however can be accessed remotely using an app. A high speed connection works best. 20 mps +.

The software seems to want it plugged into the router at first while you set it up, after it is setup though it can be used as a completely wireless cam (Except for the power cord of course.)

You can connect wirelessly from the Directv CCK-W kit to your existing wireless router. However, you do need a short Ethernet cable from the kit to the DVR Receiver. I think the previous answer from BB is right on. Actually the setup is pretty straight forward.

The Channel Master wireless internet adapter that is included in this bundle is 100% compatible with the DVR, you simply plug it in and it will work right away with the DVR+ as the DVR has the WiFi adapter software preloaded to it. Non Channel Master Wifi adapter is not recommended and will not work with the DVR+ as we don't have software loaded to the unit to recognize these other WiFi adapters. I hope this helps!

No, this DVR is designed to work with analog video cameras using BNC cables, not Ethernet or wireless from IP cameras.

You need a HD-DVR box to connect to the internet. With the HD-DVR you can either connect to the internet with an ethernet cable run between the HD-DVR and your network router (you have to have an internet connection), or you can also purchase the DirectV CCK-W Wireless Cinema Connection Kit and connect wirelessly if you have a wireless Local Area Network that is connected to the internet.

It's supposed to connect to your DVR. NO software, because the DVR software controls PT function.

If your DVR supports external hard drives and can provide enough power through the USB port yes.

Yes, but you need to have the DVR connected to your router to be able to access remotely on your tablet or phone. There is a disk that comes with the kit to help you set up remote access, and there are pretty detailed instructions on how to set up your phone or tablet in the package.

Do not need software this is a camera - your DVR has the software in it - just go to the ip address and login using the user name and password you set in the set up of the unit. It WILL NOT WORK in your home network!!!! You must go to an outside internet source or you must use the ip address of the unit. I had to use No-IP.org because I do not get a static ip from my DNS provider.
