Can the wifi feature be turned off? Is there a password or anykind of protection on uploading via wifi?

I've lost my camera :( But yes If I remember correctly I had to put the wifi password when I wanted to connect to it.

I actually found a way - you delete the access points from the phone, except for the wifi ones. If the access points don't exist, then you can't connect via them.

That's a load of nonsense! They cannot block wifi if you do not have data. You can also set it to "always ask" before anby data usage. In that case you will only make sure it only uses WiFi. OTOH, you can even remove AT&T; settings totally, or add an x or so tot he end of it to make it ionvalid. That's if you do not want to set it to "Always ask" before data usage.

No. This is very simple set up. If you leave it on for too long, the app wifi direct wil disconnect itself. Thanks Heide

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

Hello, that sounds like an interesting idea--however even if you shut off your home's cable router, there could be other broadcasting (non-locked down) wi-fi routers in the neighborhood that might not have a network password. So, not sure that application would be 100% sure-fire. Hope that helps.

Yes, it can be disabled quite easily... If you had the router, you'd log into it, choose the "Wireless" tab at the top of the page, then the "Basic Settings" tab that appears beneath it: on that page, you'd then see "Wireless Network Mode" second from the top and set it to "Disabled." You might also look into the Tomato community's firmwares to see if any of them suits you better. I've used DD-WRT for 4 years, but I'm going to try Tomato (probably "Tomato by Shibby") as I've seen it recommended over DD-WRT quite a few times recently and it's more actively developed. Hopefully either one of them or DD-WRT does what you need them to! :)

So far no security issues with this product. As far as encryption goes, it uses your home Wifi to operate so the encryption will be as strong as the setting for your Wifi.

James, I have accumulated 4 of these over the last 12 months and never had the experience. This camera has nothing to do with your WiFi, so there is no problem.

Yes, no issues. Once you connect to the wireless network, you'll be asked for the password.

I think...and I can't really remember...you have to click your wifi off after the setup process and switch the switch on the back of the camera if I remember correctly. Here's a number to the seedonk/isecurity 18002932168. Good luck!!

I do not know about improvements over the model I have - BUT - I find this useless for travel, since there is no way to connect to most hotel's wireless Internet - no password, "I accept", etc. Calling the IT guys is nuts, because every time the hotel WiFi shudders - you are booted off, and no way to get back on. I use this at HOME all the time - but my iPhone, or am mp3 player loaded with my podcasts - when I travel. The LIGHT is also very bright - I have the WHOLE FRONT of mine covered with duct tape, because I sleep with Net Radio on - and the light is blinding. Godd for what it is - but could use some serious tweaks. And all stations MUST be set from your computer, too.

You only have to enter your WPA Password once on initial set up. After that it is memorized and all you have to do is turn the radio on and off as you would any conventional radio. The Grace Wifi radio is a fantastic device cc

Don't think there is a way to upload or delete files without using software that comes with your device or some other.

Yes. Just don't plug it up to a switch on the network or else you'll have an additional IP to worry about.

I'm not an expert, but I think it is supposed to block wifi. It's best to turn off WiFi while you're sleeping. Also, it's very helpful to drink distilled water since it doesn't conduct electricity. That's one of the most important things I've done to shield myself.

Yes it has WPS, so you don't need to remember your password, and the stranger next door with an app on thier smartphone wont need to know your password either!
