I want to set this camera up on a cabin with no internet. I have internet service about 10 miles away. Will it work?

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

You will initially need to hard wire the camera into the Internet to set it up but once it's done you can disconnect the Ethernet cable. However you would still need a wi-fi connection to operate the camera from your computer or iPad/android etc.My advice would be to either install the Internet to the cabin or if this is not possible you would need to look at a different system. An ip camera system will always need some sort of Internet connection.

No. Ip cameras rely on being connected to the internet to send out the signal so you can see it from a different internet connection.

You don't necassarily need internet unless you want to be able to access the video from a remote location. If you have an old computer and a wifi router you can still set it up to record to the computer (with additional software) but unless you have these items laying around doing nothing, it would be more economical to purchase a hardwired system that comes with it's own dvr. Either way you would still have to be onsite to check the video.

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.

Sure. But if your router is not PoE, you'll need to get a power supply to the camera for it to work.

As long as you have cable or DSL it should work , if you're upload is 768 or lower watch out, because your internet will slow down. That being said you can set the drop cam for SD quality which is still acceptable if your internet super suffers too much.

Make sure to log into the camera when connected to ethernet. Once connected, set a static IP on your local LAN. you must then disconnect the ethernet cable. Power cycle the camera. you should be good to go.

I would think that it would. I did not use it for that purpose. I have a cabin where there is open wifi available a few blocks away. It has helped to be able to pickup a strong enough signal to use the internet. Keep in mind that this not "N" wifi but "G" which is 54mbs as compared to 300 or 600mbs.

This type of camera would require some form of a dvr to accept the signal. I would suggest you look into a wifi camera that has its own software where you could view from anywhere. You of course would need wifi at your mothers house though.

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.

We live on a mountain top so we DO NOT have internet via cable, satellite, etc. We only have our mobile hotspot, Verizon Jetpack. Most people have a modem which connects to their wireless router. If you do not have an ethernet cable to perform the initial set up for this camera, you cannot use the camera if you only have a hot spot.

Hi Dianne, You need internet connection for the camera (WVC80N) to work. Thanks, Linksys Support http://support.linksys.com

The camera works very well, and it will work good for about 1/4 to a half mile away. Hope this helps!!

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but as long as the camera is connected to and in range of your Wi-Fi it will work. My Wi-Fi is in the basement and I have cameras on both the first and second floors of the house. You can view it on your phone or computer anywhere in range of the Wi-Fi simply by logging in to the Wi-Fi address of the camera. In order to view it from somewhere outside your Wi-Fi range you will need to do port forwarding. (Port forwarding allows your smart phone or whatever your using to view the camera access to your router) Once that's done you can view the cameras from anywhere in the world as long as the camera is still connected to the Wi-Fi in your house.

I tried something much like this, and it didn't work. I think there are timing issues. If you want a remote webcam, you may have to go to one that is wifi-enabled.

As a general statment....no...it will not.The unit accepts a wired camera...not a wifi.

Yes on an iPhone or any smart phone with wifi you will have to find out your Internet address on the camera, just read your manual carefully and please be ready to spend time setting up. Also works on a Mac to.

If you have a router that's not wireless you can plug the camera into the router by way of ethernet cable. If you have a wireless router then you can use the camera in wireless mode. Either way you would need Internet service to use the camera.

Ricardo, This is not correct. It will work on other networks. You only need to set-up the iphone and the camera plugged in to do the initial setup (like at home). Once set-up, you can take your camera anywhere, when you plug it in (power) to the wall, just open your app and change the wifi network to to pulbic (hotel) one, and enter password. Should work fine for your use.
