I wish to use this ONLY as a WEBCAM and have my iphone/browser connect DIRECTLY to it through my WIFI. Is this possible or do I have to subscribe to their online service?? I DO NOT want to send my camera feed into their network (even if it is free).

You must connect to Y-cam on your computer, but at no charge. Then you download their app to your iphone. I will know more after my trip, then the motion sensor is activated, how well this works in Europe. This is separate from my other home security. I hope this was helpful to you. Well, I guess the answer is no.

The dvr itself needs a Ethernet connection (it has no wifi connecting ability's), you can connect with wifi on your iphone/android/computer with wifi a note: the best free on the iphone i have found is called mobile-eye others i've downloaded have/show stuttering frames or fail to connect point blank :)

I don't know, but you can download an app for iPhone or Android smartphones, establish a WIFI connection and control the camera with the phone (including a live picture on the phone screen)

I have my mother using the webcam on her Dell, using AIM. I go through Ichat. It worked for a while, but I had to invite her to videochat. Picture quality was poor. She could never invite me. Now, it doesnt work at all, and am wondering if it is just my mother who isnt very tech savvy, or if it is the stinkin cam.

You have to download the Nikon App via smartphone, tablet or iPad and have wifi. Go to camera settings and connect it through wifi and you can take pictures through your other wifi compatible devices. The wifi function is a little misleading I had to go on YouTube and find out how to do it. I hope I was of help.

No it connects to the Internet thru a wireless link and you can use an app such as IP Cam Viewer to access the camera as long as both the camera and the iPhone have access to the Internet independently.

No. You have to download the software from their site to view it on your computer. I just use the web viewer. This camera is junk tho. It works when it wants to then it constantly drops the internet connection.

yes, you can watch video through wifi... but two way conversation, its supposed to, but in practice volumen at max is so low that's impossible. You can talk through the App and it will sound good in the camera but the other way around... if someone speaks to the camera you will bearly listen (at max volumen) in the App.

I have this and I do not use it much. From what I can tell just the basic web cam works, no other features work. What I have come to realize is the only Mac that does not come with a web cam built in is the mini (which is what I have), so not many companies produce a web cam that is compatible. This was one of two I found that are supposed to work with Mac, I don't remember what the other one is but i tried that one first and it did not work. I don't know if this helps, sorry if it doesn't.

I don't use an iphone. But you don't have to have a wireless network available. It just uses wifi to connect between the phone and the camera. It's called wifi direct. But it is point-to-point and there is no need for an actual wireless network.

Camera does not have wi-fi. I haven't tried connecting via a wire - but I do not believe it has the ability to upload directly to web.

You need to have connection to a network for both the iPhone and the camera. I don't believe you can go directly from phone to camera.

So so, you can connect a mobile (IOS) devices in my case in two modes m , direct to the camera and through a wireless access point mode. You cannot download or view videos (gutted ) but can do with photos. I've not used it used it for social media sites and can't comment on that side.It is ok, but can be a pain switching between more than one devices and profile setup.Hope this helps.Polo

I would like to note that while you can't subscribe over WiFi, you can get what you want by using Safari. I listened to one of my video game podcasts from the direct link on their site. Obviously this is far less convenient than just getting it though iTunes Wi-Fi Store (something Apple should be offering already), but that's an option for now at least.

The camera runs an onboard web application that you can log into to view the live feed in a browser. There are also third party apps, for iOS devices at least, that you can use to view live feed as well. It's possible to even configure the web application to be reachable outside your network, but there are risks associated with that and you need to check your ISP terms to make sure you're allowed to run a server (usually you aren't). The recorded videos can be downloaded from the web app or you can set it up to automatically dump them out on an ftp site or something. It's highly configurable.

so far I have only used the zmodo phone app, which works well. there are 2 apps, one for when you are on your home network. one for when you are not. my understanding is there is a way to "port forward" so you can view your cameras on any computer but my attempts to do that so far have failed. They weren't much of an attempt though. Ill probably try again later. There are some youtube videos of how to do it.
