No wifi or phone line where I plan to put it, just electric. What else do I need to watch live or recorded images remotely from home 100 miles away?

Can't help yet. Ours has not yet been installed. Will respond when it gets in and I hope you get an answer before that happens. Not sure you can really do that with no internet connection.

A high speed internet connection is required to the DVR to view anything remotely. Also an internet connection or 3G/4g lte is required in a smartphone or tablet to view anything once the DVR is connected to the internet. DMZ is also required on the DVR network to allow outside access through your internet router.

The only way you can remotely watch the cameras are with an internet connection. The cameras have a dvr box that must be connected to the internet. Without doing so you can only see live images on a screen

NO WIFI needed.The camera communicates directly to the monitor, I am very satisfied with mine and use it to monitor my driveway.

For the initial installation you'll need to plug up the Camera directly to an outlet and your router or modem with a cat 5 cable. Then log into your alarm.com account and to search and set up the cameras Ethernet connection. Once the settings have been programed you can successful unplug the camera and place it around your house. When it powers on it will automatically connect to your internet connection. The setup is easy and alarm.com does a good job of walking you through the process.

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.

The camera needs to be connected to a hard wire router and electrical outlet. The camera will then need to be plugged into an electrical outlet within the same "house" and on the same wifi. If you're using the camera at McDonalds and not remote location then the base still needs to be plugged into the router. At home the camera can be in one room. The base must be plugged into a wall electrical outlet and hard wired into the router.Hope that helps.

No, it does not need to be hooked up to a computer. It works through your router and ip address. At home you would view it through a local ip address. Remotely you need to setup a dns page that will link to your dynamic ip. I use Dtdns. With router permissions most of it can be setup through the cameras admin page.

The camera has to be within range of your wireless router. Take a laptop out to the barn to see if you get a signal. If you don't get the wireless signal in the barn you will probably have to get a range expander. However, once you get one, you can then monitor the signal from anywhere in the world from a computer, tablet, smart phone.

You will need a "landline." Since you have only internet and Ethernet running to the area you could use a Ooma or MagicJack Plus device to generate a "landline" at the unit.

There is no such thing as a straight shot when wifi is involved. Range depends on a homes construction. If you want range this is not the item for you. Find a unit that has an external antenna. Even with an external antenna you would require a strong signal that is no more than 100 feet away for data transfer to work fluidly (without dropouts).

Here are a couple of simple options (there are probably more)1. Purchase a remote CD/DVD drive that will plug into one of the USB ports2. Add the 1000ha to a home network then utilize the CD/DVD drive of another computer on the network to load software.Cheers

The unit has a base station which plugs into the router and needs to plug into a power source. The base station serves as the main communications hub for all of the cameras to and from the cloud storage provided by VueZone (NetGear). I do not think you can use this system without utilizing the internet. Based on conditions, VueZone claims the cameras can be up to 300 feet from the base station (though in a normal house it is less, obviously). The individual cameras use 2- CR123A (3V) batteries for power and do not require any other power source.

Yes it will work without an external internet. You do need a z-wave master controller of some sort to control it within tour home I.e. micasaverde.

No computer needed. This device is all inclusive with its own recording and storage software. I would suggest a bigger memory card for video storage though. You do not need internet if you are do not need to view from remote location.

You'll need a power outlet and an Internet connection for that distance. With that it can be set up with a dynamic ip service (I use No-IP.com) and it can easily be accessed from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection.

Ours is over 100 feet away from the router and works just fine. There is a short delay from sending photos via the internet but that's it.

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 Wendy, thanks for your good question. The camera is completely self-contained. Even the MicroSD card for recording is included and pre-installed. For local viewing nothing else needed other than your existing wired or wireless router. For remote viewing your router needs internet service of some kind, for example cable modem internet service through Comcast. We even include mounting hardware for attaching the camera to a wall. Please note that this assumes that you have an outdoor power outlet near the camera, and that your power outlet has one of those covers that can close weathertight even when the included AC adapter is plugged into the outlet. If your home's existing power outlet doesn't have a cover like this, it can be purchased for $10 - $15 from any hardware store, and if your power outlet is further away, you'd need to consider extending the power cable or use the other method that we support for powering the camera, called PoE. With PoE, you can power the camera from up to 300 ft away using ordinary Cat5e network cable, but in that case you'd need to add a $30 PoE injector for a single camera, or a $120 PoE network switch such as the Netgear GS108PE that can power 4 cameras.
