Do you need to do some special configuration on your home router (fix i.p. address, pay dyndns, etc), in order to monitor outside your local network?

Password protected "Nanny Cam" viewing (away viewing) on an external data plan or WiFi connection requires adding a permission of your wireless router explained in our SUPPORT section. No external server is used for remote viewing for privacy. Detailed screen shot guides on on our site or we will do it for you. Scheduled U.S. based tech support by phone (855.943.4367), screen share or email is included with purchase and scheduled help available during the day, night or weekend.

No, you shouldn't need that. First thing I would suggest is to confirm you are set to "away" mode under settings when away from your home network. If the problem is more complex than that, I would recommend setting up a call with customer service, as the fix takes several steps. The customer service rep is fantastic and will get it working.

I did have to configure my router (through my home computer) to make our mobile devices accessible, but it was relatively easy with a twenty minute, scheduled help-desk call (you are given an appointment time to call in and share-connect with your control computer to avoid on-hold times). I also set up a dedicated dtdns address for greater reliability, but that was free. The Baby WiFi tech walked me through all of that during that twenty minute call.

Yes, but technical support help me set it up. Unfortunately, it took an extremely long time to receive that help and I've had to call twice to get it done properly (waiting several days each time to get assistance).

In nutshell...yes. It was pretty complicated to set up actually. I do not say that to turn you against buying it because the WiFi Baby tech help desk is GREAT. They totally helped set it all up...they remote into your computer and literally set it up for you. So, still consider buying it but allow for a call with the help desk so they can help set it up.

Yes. Not a problem. Although I have a local network, my whole set-up is wired because everything is close and that's the most direct way for me to handle it.

It should work fine as long as you have your local network set up properly.

Not in itself but some simple inexpensive addition will correct that.Linksys has has what is needed to set up wifi.

No. Get a different router though. Even with the latest patch this one still doesn't like to play nice more than 80% of the time.

It doesn't have a DHCP server (nor does it make sense for it to have on since it is intended to be assigned one by your DHCP server, typically your router). That said you could assign a static IP to the server and your PC, you won't need a router for that configuration (that is how I used to configure my network before home routers became cheap and ubitquitous).

I don't believe there is a way to do this within the router, at least I have not found it.

The way I use this is 1. set up dyndns account, 2. setup dyndns on your router, 3. port forward the camera's ip(default camera port 7777), and then I can login from any computer. If you use the app/software it comes with, it appears to work as well(haven't tested it outside the house yet.) I did the dns way because I like being able to access my home network for lights/security/cameras/heat/computer files etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by the question, but I have my router setup dhcp and connected it directly to the ismartalarm.

No this router will not do that. I don't know of any home routers that will unless that is a new feature from some new recent model. You can always put software on someone's computer get detailed results on where they have been.

Yes it needs to be wired to a router, if it is a wireless router then you will see it over the network.

May need to port map and get an external IP address. No-ip has free packages.

If you can discover the local address, then you can talk to it directly. (For example, after you push the buttons and do the WPS pairing, you can go to your access point's management page and look at what addresses it has given out; one of them will say DCS-930L_XXXXXX where XXXXXX is a 6-digit (hex) serial number; for a modern access point like Asus RT N66u, you can even click on the address and go directly to the camera from there.) Getting at that address from *outside* your home network is more complicated (which is why there's a market for the dlink service) but setting up port forwarding from some outside port to port 443 (https) on the inside address is sufficient to permit streaming from anywhere (assuming your ISP isn't also blocking ports.)

When installing you need access to the router settings.if you will be using you personal hotspot you can adjust the settings I connected using an IP camera app to vie from Dubai using the URL I setup also tech support was very helpful

Yes, You will need To do port forwarding, I didn't ddns instead that, I got static Ip from my Internet service provider

I have attached to local LAN. Have not tried to use it this way. We have secure local LAN

The IP from your home network will not work away from home. To get mine to work, I registered with noip.com (free) to get a web address that points to my home network.
