Hi, Sir, You will need a computer to access and program the camera. However, since it is a wireless camera, you do not need to run cat5 ethernet cable to the camera. But you need a lower power source to plug in the power adapter, which is used to power the camera

Dear Amazon Buyer, no, it does not have to be connected to internet. Only if you want to remotelly monitor via Apps or any other devise logged to internet. As an additional information all camera cables are same lenght so from console all cameras will be at same distance but in desired directions. It is not WiFi ready.

Yes. If the webcams are in proximity to the router, then you can have a wired connection. If your webcams are wireless then of course there should be no reason to purchase this unit.

As long as there is a internet Cat 5 plug near by. it needs to be plugged into a router so it can connect the wireless camara to. if you have that this product is great

No, it does not need to be hooked up to a computer. It works through your router and ip address. At home you would view it through a local ip address. Remotely you need to setup a dns page that will link to your dynamic ip. I use Dtdns. With router permissions most of it can be setup through the cameras admin page.

I'm assuming you already connected it physically with an ethernet cable to your router and was able to see the camera with the search tool?

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.

Modem is required only if you're connecting to the internet. If you're connecting just to other computer(s), you don't need a modem. This router will connect to any network-ready wired ir wirwless device(s).

Because the camera works on IP (either Ethernet or WiFi), you need an IP path to your Mac or iPad. To use the device while you are away from your home, that IP service would be the Internet. If you are in your home, you could use your WiFi to connect. Note that this would be true of ANY camera that uses IP to communicate with either a computer or a smartphone.

You need to either have a POE switch or a local 12v power adapter to power the camera. Most home routers do not have POE built in.

Hi, yes but you will need to open port in your router or set up DMZ. Camera comes with per-configured DDNS, which works great on pc, phone or tablet.

You need to make an Ethernet coonection to marry the camera to the wifi system. After they connect, you can disconnect. Some of the newest cameras from this line can power from the Ethernet connection.

Yes. I usually do not do wifi but simply use memory card port on computer. And, I think I have a cord that will plug from camera to computer but am not sure of that right off top of my head.

plug the camera into a spare socket on your router / modem to start with. then run the set up software. you can then asked it to log onto your wireless network, click the refresh icon if need be to see networks. Sometimes you need to click in to the empty box for the network list to appear !

This camera requires A) Power. You need to be able to plug into an outlet. And B) an Internet connection where the camera is. The camera (powered) is connected to the Internet router and then you can access that remotely from anywhere in the world.

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.

No, to both. The camera will have its own IP address and you can access it using a browser. If you are home, you can go direct using its IP Address like 192.168.1.81 or if you are away from home, you type in your router address and then :81 after the router address. You will need to port forward port 81 or whatever port you assign to your camera in your router. Tech support can assist you if you have trouble with the directions.
