I have internet but no cell coverage where I want to use this. Can it still control/administer the product remotely? I don't want monitoring.

No .. You have to use cell. This is not usable without alarm.com and it's app.

Hi Ryan,No you can't. This is not an overly intelligent device. It essentially acts as a gateway between whatever hard drive you plug into it and the net, allowing you to access your content remotely through pogoplug.com.

Yes but not wireless if there's no internet or if you don't want it on the web

Can't say for certain, but I do not believe it is. Closest is probably the iOS or Android apps that let you mange it remotely.

This is NOT the V2 version which should allow 'on hub' running of rules and thus allow controll to work without internet access. That April 2015 product launch is now pushed back to late 2015 by Samsung. Look for Vera's latest offerings to also show up around that time (which would work without network connectivity for years, and is adding Zigbee, Bluetooth, and additional signaling systems support). Waiting till late 2015 is the smart thing to do.

No cell service required. Just gotta have your Bluetooth on, which is independent of cell service. The app will want to be connected to the internet whether through wifi or cell service, but its not a requirement for it to run.

You would only need internet connectivity if you want to access it away from home. You would need a local area network consisting of a router and the TCP gateway to operate it locally with your computer, tablet, or phone. They also make a handheld remote, I dont have one, so no idea how that works.

Hi Omar, Nice to hear from you. Yes, you are right, the network streaming feature from PC and Mobile, it needs the ActiveX and you could use browser and CMS to realize remote real time monitor, the advised browser is IE explorer. Pls kindly contact me if any question. Best regards! Security Sannce

You need a computer and WiFi connection so you can monitor remotely. You can also monitor remotely through your Android device with WiFI connection.

You don't need this device if you have access to WiFi. You don't need this device if your cell phone permits you to 'tether' other devices. In places where you have No WiFi, but where cell phone coverage, 3G/4G is available, and if your cell phone does not permit tethering, and if you have a device like a tablet or a laptop PC without a dongle, ....with which you want to access the internet, then this device is handy. It can serve multiple devices simultaneously. Of course, you need to install a sim chip with data service from the cell phone provider of your choice.

I was unable to access any of the data remotely on the device itself. I was, however, able to install it directly on my server and remote in with RDP and VNC protocols And still use the software. What the company calls their "tech support" was a joke, and said that you cannot have an active network security in place e.g. IDS/IPS or a firewall. Although I think their IT was simply trying to pass the issue over as my problem, I believe it was just faulty equipment or operating system both times. You should never have to insecure your network, especially when client information is critical. I would highly recommend Lanthem's line, as it simply works, is easy to configure, and can even be exported to booking software like QuickBooks. It is a little more pricy, but well worth the quality. Hope this helps.

Yes. You can forward it to your cell if you are away from your office/home.

Hi, Thank you for your interest to our product. Yes, as long as the set up is done correctly and your remote device have internet access, you will be able to see the image from your phone not being in the house. Best Regards, IreneCustomer Service

This is not a network product, sure it can work without internet, this is a plug and play system. Only need the internet if you want to remote viewing, thanks.

You can operate it just fine without a license as long as you don't transmit! People, please don't posture like an expert in something that you clearly aren't an expert (or even a novice, given the replies here) in!This goes for all but 2 of the commenters here, who actually got it right.

Yes. The caveat is that you do it with a smartphone or tablet. You need the receiver hooked up to the internet and a wireless router. Download the app from either google or apple and voila, you control from as far away as your wifi allows.
