I have no internet at our up north property, but want to monitor it. Will this camera work with my "at home" computer where I have internet?

It won't work without internet access for the remote camera to work, since you have to run your computer 24/7 at the location. Save your money and stay away from this security system. Do a little research, and buy a quality unit.

No. The remote camera needs to have access to the internet in order to send you the alerts and video. Furthermore, this version of the camera is faulty and obsolete. Check out either the updated Logitech system or another brand.

Only if you run an LAN cable out to the camera from a router. Without wireless, no signal... And of course it needs to be plugged in.

Do not need software this is a camera - your DVR has the software in it - just go to the ip address and login using the user name and password you set in the set up of the unit. It WILL NOT WORK in your home network!!!! You must go to an outside internet source or you must use the ip address of the unit. I had to use No-IP.org because I do not get a static ip from my DNS provider.

Yes, this camera will still record under no network. You just won't be able to view anything on your cellphone.

I don't believe that will work. The only way it would is your wifi has a 10 mile plus signal range. The camera needs to connect to wifi to then to the internet

Yes, but you will have to have Foscam go into your router and forward you internet ports so it can be accessed from any device and/or web. I had Foscam do all my setup due to the fact that it's their camera and they know what to do instantly. I hope this helped you.

It should... Leave it u on your phone..easy on your home network. Might watch for data usage when on other data nets.

Yes, except without Internet access you will not be able to remotely view the video. The cameras will wirelessly transmit the video to the recorder and you will be able to locally view the video.

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.

Honestly, I'm not sure, although it may not count against your Internet account. The data is transferred from the camera to your in-house wireless network. I'm not sure it goes across the Internet. I would call Logitech to be sure. They were very nice and helpful when I talked to them.

Yes, but you need the appropriate recording and connecting device. It should allow Internet access in addition to the functions of recording and processing the images. You can set up, following the instructions, a good viewing connection for real time or replay remote. The camera is seperate and can be connected to most systems. Hope this helps!

We just tested ours last night for you, the camera inside the house and myself with the monitor outside. I reached about 200' before I ran out of signal. At the 180' area it would work intermittently.

Absolutely! Download iSpy video surveillance software (free - google it), Set up your camera on your computer or home network. No need to be on line unless you want to remote view (offsite) your camera. I have six cameras set up this way with no internet access.

best is go to their website and research. It took me a day to set it up. You have to configure both the cam and your internet provider's router to make it work.

Depends a little on your background Johnny. If you understand basic networking, IP addresses and have perhaps installed your home router and configured the firewall for a game console this should be relatively easy. If everything I just typed seems foreign to you this will probably be a pain. In the later case I suggest a home unit from someone like DLink, Netgear, FosCam etc. This camera is better if you are trying to setup a camera network. Amongst other IP Cameras of similar functionality I though the network setup for the Hikvision was straight forward and understandable.

Internet is the only option for liveview through smartphone and computer. Hence, it will definitely work without internet if you just want to record on your DVR.

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.
