Can this unit be connected in any way to a wireless hotspot for updates or better map searches? Also, what about connecting a back up camera?

I am not sure about "hotspot" connectivity but the system does connect to bluetooth phones so i would assume that if it can "see'the station it will connect. Yes you can install a backup camera but you will have to do all the wiring and purchase a camera. Not an easy task but it is doable. I did not install a camera system. (A waste of time and money).

Unfortunately no. There is no wifi adapter internal to the unit. Updates have to be done from USB from what I've seen so far. Yes you can hook up a backup camera as well as an additional auxiliary device from what I remember from the additional wires. The unit comes with a harness that has several RCA connectors for the subwoofer, backup camera and auxiliary device.

I don't think so. It's a great game trail/security camera and takes good pics, but it's pretty simple. There's no wi-fi capability that I can see. To view the pics you've got to remove the storage card to your laptop or something similar. Still, a great motion camera for the price. So, today I found my owners manual and much to my surprise, there is an WiFi SD card option! Per the manual "....selecting it keeps the SD port powered for a set amount of time to allow files to transfer off the card to the WiFi network set up. Note: Moultrie does not offer tech support for WiFi SD cards. Contact the cards manufacturer for support with WiFi set up."

Not sure I really understand the question. It can connect to WiFi and be used in any hotspot, but it cannot connect to WiDi.

I have one at my home pointing to a hunting cabin about 250 feet away from where the unit is. I have a wireless camera at the cabin and I never lose my camera. The signal is a little weak but it works. There is also all woods between the unit and the cabin. So if you have a clear shot I think you'll be in great shape. Hope this helps.

The remote receives WIFI signal and then records on standard SD cards......it has no hardware or ports to send out information. You could put in an SD card with a cable on ( available from Amazon ) to get the pictures transferred out of the unit via the cable to an SD card on some type of hardware / box etc. that would then send it out.......seems like a lot of work / hardware for what a trailcam already set up with cell capabilitis

All you need is a compatible back up camera. You may be able to get one for cheaper. BT and GPS are add on modules. They cost about $200 each plus installation.

Hi RonI added the backup camera. It connects wirelessly to the GPS. It was the main reason we bought this GPS. We have Garmin, Magellan and Tomtom and if you just want a GPS then the Garman is the best.

What they already said- NO. But, I tried a "wireless" before and unless the camera has its own power (battery), it has to be wired to a power source. That turned out to be less do-able than this system with power and communication going thru same cable.

you can mount on the camera or place around as slave using wireless. I tested and worked , it syncs with the camera flash.

it doesn't have a connection for a backup camera, all it has is an a/v aux input but it is located on the front face (the aux labeled plug on the bottom right). There is no trigger wire or anything like that. there is no a/v input in the rear either so you can't hardwire a camera there (i wanted to do that but no luck). Check my review for more info, i suggest looking for another unit.

Yes, you can connect locally Best way is to call Foscam customer support and they will help you set it up however you like

I haven't mastered the wireless feature either. I take my card out of the camera and put it in the slot on my laptop. I have my portable hard drive connected to my laptop and I cut and paste directly from my card to my portable HD. I know I didn't comment on using USB compatibility...but the way I do it indirectly answers that question...I think using USB (flash drive or like my portable HD) is the same. I did have to name my camera and once I did that...the card/HD worked.

Can this camera be used standalone, or must it be part of a security system? I am looking for a camera to watch two pieces of property (two cameras) and alert me via text/email, so I can decide whether to call police or not. Both locations have access to router

I just figured it out. Best way would connect the camera with the wire to the router that your pc is connected too. Use the program that came with it on your pc, there is a option to find camera in settings. Once it finds the camera's ip address you can connect to it and with the program then change the wireless settings and connect it to the wireless network. You can also connect to the camera by placing the ip address in your web browser even on a smart phone. You my have to take it apart and adjust the focus by turning the lens once you mount it.

I had a similar problem. I moved the camera closer to the wireless modem and the problem was solved. I believe the wireless range is very limited.

This will work...Kinda...it doesn't work very well...reason is, it uses the power from the camera to funtion. So it will ONLY work as long as the camera is NOT on stand by. Let's say you managed to connect to the wifi and then the camera goes on stand by...that's it...you need to start over...turn the camera off, turn it on, connect to the wifi and access the pictures while constantly checking that the camera doesn't go on stand by. very annoying. just heads up...

Unfortunately this camera does not have any wireless options that we know of, you may want to look into purchasing an SD card that has WIFI capabilities if you're looking to transfer pictures to your smartphone/tablet wirelessly.
