I can view my camera from my Samsung smart phone when I'm near my WiFi but when I leave I can not bring my camera up. Do I need to install sofware?

Sorry, because of where the camera on your phone is you won't be able to see. (the camera on the device should be on the top left to work)

No- I have base camera upstairs and monitor downstairs and it works great. Every now and then I do have to unplug the video camera and re plug to reset the connection. Great monitor even in pitch dark and works within longer distance range. No wifi needed.

Same problem here. It seems now you can only manage the camera from the same network/lan/wlan, meaning the computer or your cell phone and the camera need to connect to the same router at home.

Camera works, but you cannot access it to view or configure until router is on again. When my router goes off, the camera and router reconnect automatically. I have the router configured to assign the same IP number to the camera, so I don't have random IPs assigned.

Yea you can set it up that way. You can also email or direct link to what ever device that has the samsung smart camera app which will automatically send the pic you take after taking the shot via wifi.

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.

Dear Customer,You would actually need to have you internet running in order to be able to view the feed live. Even if you are all on the same LAN network, you would still be required to have the camera connected to the internet and would have to sign in from the samsungsmartcam.com website to view the video.Best Regards,Soltech Security

yes, you can use the free TRENDnet app on your Android or Apple cell phone once you have installed the camera. That includes what glsbrakes said about a basic understanding of wifi (connecting IP camera to your router, assigning a static IP address to the camera. It gives you a live view remotely and options to take photos or record video directly to your cell phone during monitoring. I use mine to send an email upon motion detection on my front porch as well as send images to a hard drive connected directly to my router.

The camera sets up its own wi-fi connection to your smart phone and saves pictures to the phone. You can transfer the pictures to a micro-SD card and transfer them that way.

Yes can can see the camera images from work using 3g/4g or any wi-fi. You only need to download another app for that (free)...there are some delay but it is acceptable.

Yes, you need to install an App for it. You need to install the same app on Android devices, too. By linking, all is does is the camera takes the picture, and it will show up on the phone.

No! There is no WIFI involved for any model of camera. There is a receptor on the camera that receives the line of sight signal from the remote.

Software is included. It was either on a disk or built into the camera, can't remember... you'll login to the system over your local network and set it up.as far as updating firmware or software, I have had zero luck. If you figure it out please post

Hi Mechele D., Wi-Fi connection is between the camera and into the smartphone so it will never loose its connection. -Ely

No, I believe you will need monitoring service to have any visibility to your system from your smart phone. The wifi module alone will only give you one way communication like notifications and alerts but no control of the system.
