How secure is this item? E.g., can my neighbors also use it wirelessly without permission?

No the neighbors cannot piggyback on it. It needs to be plugged into your machine and it is password protected.

It is all hard wired directly from the computer to the backup drive. If someone could intercept the data flow during backup with Cickfree, they could probably get it directly from your computer. The odds are long that anyone could have this capability. I think it is safe and use mine all the time.

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

Trash it and get you a Chamberlain Wireless Motion Alert. I got 3 of them and they are working great. No digging holes to bury them in either :-)

Here is my question? Does this work really well? I am having all kinds of issues w/ my wireless connection signal strenght says 100% but my bars fluctuate so I was thinking about purchasing this to see if this stablizes anything.

No this will not interfere with a wireless N network. It operates through your electrical wiring.

I am using one of my FI8910W outdoors under a covered back porch. No problems, it works well.

If there is a wireless router, or a "hotspot" nearby yes....but you would need the password if it is a secured network. I use this to be able to access the router in my home from my desktop pc that does not have an internal network card. The range on this particular model would not provide you with many "access" points, for instance, you would not be able to pick up your neighbor's wireless and have a strong signal. This model is perfect for "internal" use to pick up a signal from a wireless router that is no more than 75-100 feet away.

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 am not sure what you man by undetected. I have about 10 of these cameras attached to wireless routers and hard wired. I have a wireless bridge between 2 locations as well as a VPN to a third location, so I have them spread across 3 wireless APs without any issues. I use Blue Iris Software from 1 location to control and record the cameras across the network.

This router is secure already, but it's not like your home router which is encrypted.however, when you configure it, it will ask you for a password , so you choose the one that your computer registers... It needs to be connected to a Ethernet port... In order for it to work!

Since mine is broken, it's hard to remember the whole control process. But generally speaking control is via WiFi, so it's as secure as the network.

It is linked through your wireless connection and access through website, not by it's IP address , I think it is ok.

Since it plugs into your router, it is as secure as your network. Also, there is a login with a password for the device through your remote access, like your phone or tablet. It's worked flawlessly since I got it a year ago.

Is anyone worried about security when using this with Z-Wave? If I can unlock it remotely, can't someone hack it and do the same?

This is not a wireless device. Repeat, not wireless. Now if the apartment across the driveway gets its electricity from the house then yes, this device should meet your needs. This product uses your electrical wiring to communicate between the two ends. It is faster than wireless.

Hi, If you place the sensor outside, I imagine someone could steal it. We use our's inside as a door chime, the chime goes off when someone enters a door.

That's a good one. I think someone is pulling your leg. I'd say best guess was, your laptop has wi-fi and connected to a neighbor that has a really good name for his wi-fi network. You can turn off your wi-fi if you want.
