once you know what port it's on.. you'll find out by signing into your router and looking at "my network" lets say it's on port 4.. do into firewall settings, then to dmz host.. then enter your camera's ip address - example: 192.168.1.4 the 4 is the port it's on.. your network page will tell you the address.. dmz host address will allow incoming from, lets say your cell phone or another computer outside your network..

The main thing is to set up the port forwarding in your router. If you post the model number of your router, someone can probably find the manual and walk you through it.

find the ipaddress of the camera by using the IPcamera client from HooToo's web site for your camera. enter that address into your browesr login with "admin admin" then assign a static address. go into your router and assign the address you put in the camera and the port port forwarding. go to the internet and go to myipaddress.com and it will tell you your IP. then from another computer on the web enter your ip with :port xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port enter the user ID "admin" and password "admin"

Hi Lisa. Basically you need to give your wifi router "permission" to have your camera transmit past its firewall. It's a little technical. You have to "open" a port using port forwarding. There may be a YouTube video that describes this using your brand of router.

No, But I would find a different camera system if it is any where near wi-fi or it will step on it and mess wifi up.

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.

I would think the firmware is already installed now. The main fix was that it tells you to change the default User: "admin" and the password: "leave blank". If the cameras are not updated, it is easy to do yourself.

Never had that problem. Make sure your first set your mobile device to airplane mode (i.e. no other conflicting connections possible), then set the network connection to the camera. That is the only way I know everything works properly.

not directly from the camera, it has no wifi compatibility.you have to transfer the photos to your computer first then email them

Don't know about that but you might want to try contacting support on wansview website, also there are some utilities available for download there. http://wansview.net/tools-support.htmlOne thing though, I was able to set it up without using the installation disc.What you want to do is first connect the camera to your router via lan cable, then in your router admin site find out the IP the camera was assigned and then access the camera using that IP. I hope this helps.

connect the camera via LAN (hardwired) cable to your router first. You should have DHCP setup on your router to auto assign the IP address. I had this same problem even using the LAN cable, had to return it and never bought another one. I bought a DLINK instead.

You need to make sure that the setting on the camera has the wifi turned on. Then go to your wifi settings on your camera and you should be able to select the wifi that is coming from the camera.Honestly, I found this to be a time-intensive process, so i just bought an adaptor from the apple store that allows me to take the data card out of the camera, put it in the adapter and attach it to my ipad to download the photos. It's a much quicker process. It seemed to take forever to do it with the wireless attachment.

I just got my camera, tried to install yesterday. I have Verizon Fios router, it worked with hardwire, but doesn't seem to work with the Wifi.Did it work out for you?

Hi Dianne, You need internet connection for the camera (WVC80N) to work. Thanks, Linksys Support http://support.linksys.com

No, this monitor is not enabled with wifi. For that, you would need an IP camera.

You have to download the Nikon App via smartphone, tablet or iPad and have wifi. Go to camera settings and connect it through wifi and you can take pictures through your other wifi compatible devices. The wifi function is a little misleading I had to go on YouTube and find out how to do it. I hope I was of help.

There are a number of comments in the reviews about the lack of documentation, no argument there. If you read the reviews, there are a couple (including mine) that give pretty good detailed instructions. I found additional information doing a quick web search. Basically you need to connect to it with an ethernet cable, then configure the wireless settings, unplug the cable, reboot the camera and it should connect to your wireless network. If you provide more details about your issue I can provide a more detailed answer.

The camera is just a camera with networking capabilities. Really iffy network capabilities. If you're looking for a reliable internet video link, look elsewhere. This is not it.

Mine connects to N just fine. I was curious myself about the same review you saw, and the previous answerer of your question. This camera operates on the 2.4 ghz wifi spectrum. Some peoples N wifi might be using 5 Ghz and hence not be able to see it. Especially routers that put out 2 signals, one is typically 2.4 Ghz and the other 5 Ghz. This is my best guess why some people claim it doesn't work or see N wifi, because it most definitely does.

So I just bought and received this camera a couple of days ago. I am literally setting it up right now while I am writing this review. I've installed about 20 wireless ip cameras from various manufacturers (I have an IT business.) So I went about installing in the usual manner. Connect camera to router, check the DHCP table to get the ip address, log in via the ip address (the CDs are worthless), and change the settings from there. It usually take me 10 minutes. This camera went about the same until I tried to log in via the ip address in my web browser. My router found the camera, but I couldn't log in. I've been troubleshooting for about half an hour and I found the culprit, which is probably why people have had trouble with set-up on this camera. THE DEFAULT PORT SETTING IS 81 (not 80)!!! After that - set-up was per every other ip camera I've done. I've finished the set-up before finishing this post. Hope that helps!
