I need a cam that will link to my wifi and be visible on my cell and my computer. Needs to see cars coming by house at 25 feet. Will this cam do this?

No, this is not a WiFi, this is a hard wired camera. I do not know what all you want or need to do with your system, but I strongly advise you to go with an all hard wired system. Just as effective run trough a DVR, can do all the same things, but with far better effectiveness. Now you can run your DVR through the WiFi and do all these things, assuming you have a decent DVR.Hope this helps, feel free to ask me more.Sincerely;Bigkinak

This camera doesn't have wireless capabilities, but through a DVR that supports remote viewing you will be able to accomplish what you want.

This being an analog camera needs a display card installed into a computer so that the image can be displayed on the monitor. From there I don't know how you can capture the image and send it via the internet but I suppose it can be done. However, why go to all of this trouble when you can purchase an IP camera (that has a noticeably better image) and utilizing it's IP address send it to any computer in the world. Additionally, the IP camera is the same price but also admittedly, it is somewhat harder to set up but with all of the help on the net you can do it....I was able to. Good luck but you really won't need it to get some nice video of the traffic in front of your home using an IP camera.

the cam will work on wifi , you only need this for set up. I had issues getting it set up and seeing the wifi on my router. i had to go into the cam using the IP address to do the final set up.

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).

It varies, guess it depends how strong your wi-fi signal is from your phone, I have been in the house and car parked in driveway watching live video.At other times you could be in the vehicle driving with the phone 2 feet away and it drops out.I bought one and rear camera connector is cheezy be real careful when you plug it in. I emailed company several times and heard nothing back

NO!! Do not waste your money. If you want that ltype of range I would suggest a Agasio A602W camera and use a range extender in your network. I have 2 Agasio A602W's monitoring my driveway with two very solid walls between the cameras and the range extender and they work great. I don't like the Foscam brand as they are not all what they say they are. If your cameras are that far away and you have very little obstruction, you would still need a range extender.

You can find the app on Google play. The Cool Cam works great never regret purchasing it. Vision is clear in the darkest places. As long as you have a good internet connection you should not have any problems. I use it to monitor my baby and it works well even when I am away from home. Hope you get through with yours.

This device will give you visible range of about 150-300 yards. You can drive but need to be careful as if you are going fast you may not recognize certain obstacles in time.

It's not good for traveling, the camera has to connect with the routers IP address. You can't do that on the road, this is pretty much only good for your house.

I don't think you'd get much usable video if the cam was on the dash. I have mine mounted high up on the windshield and it seems to be the best spot for it.

I am not sure of the total distance you will be able to go, It all depends on where it is located and if it has to go thru any thick walls etc. Mine is about 100 feet away from the router box on the far end of the house outside and is very sharp picture wise. I have had it drop out sometimes and have to restart the cam. Not sure that has anything to do with the distance or not.

Hi Jim, It all depends on how your wifi router is set up. You may have to turn on port forwarding if you want to see the camera view from outside your local network via the iPhone app. I had a bit of a hard time connecting to the camera at first, but I think that was because I had mac address filtering turned on on my wifi. Make sure you turn off mac address filtering. Once you find the camera on your wifi network you will have to configure the emaill setting if you would like it to email you a picture when it detects motion. You can see things live through the camera, but it doesn't really record video it just takes some images that it can email to you or upload to a server via ftp. If you are looking for a video recording camera, this probably isn't the product for you. Fell free to hit me back with any other questions and I'll try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. -Jack

I think you can. When we are at home we can check the cameras on our tablets and cell phones over our home network. Still can't get it to work at outside business.

These cameras are wireless and produce a pretty low quality image. I'm not sure if they will give you the quality you need for a long driveway. I use them indoors, but they might be better outdoors. I got them for the hassle free set up.

Yes it will. It sends and receives information in a similar fashion to a wireless laptop. If you have a weak signal, or you camera is outside you may want to add the larger antenna. If your wireless signal must pass through the roof, you may have problems, but just being under a metal roof should not affect it. Foscam website has searchable FAQ that may also be helpful.

I use mine outside of the house to cover 3 home entrances 80ft, 25ft 3ft from room with monitor. and the 4th camera is 450 ft , direct line of sight with no obstructions to the room in the house where the monitor is to see a blind spot of the entrance of my horse barn with full signal bars. Live very rural so there is no other wireless interference in the area. Very happy with my purchase in this set up it does what it saids it can.

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.

This type of camera would require some form of a dvr to accept the signal. I would suggest you look into a wifi camera that has its own software where you could view from anywhere. You of course would need wifi at your mothers house though.
