Does the camera get an IP address if I use the WiFi adapter so I can stream the video and look at the video from the internet?

the camera card itself does not get an IP address however once the pi is on a network the pi gets an IP address as does any device that gets on to your home or other network. Yes you can stream video from the pI over the internet. you will find instructions for streaming video from the pie on the official Raspberry Pi site

I don't think it would work this way without some tools, configs and scripts. You will need to have a streaming script taking the video input and streaming it (RTSP or other protocols). There are many other supporting configs you will need (DDNS, firewall and others) to enable streaming from RPi to the Internet. Try goolgle "iSpy" or "Zoneminder" and see if they can support RPi. In summary, it's a multi-step process to get what you want.

Check out the site http://www.dexterindustries.com/GoPiGo/ to see how they do it. You need to set up the Pi as an Access Point and a type of web server to do that directly or you can have the PI connect to an Access Point.

As long as you can get to an ip address, yes, you would go to the www prompt and type in your camera system ip address followed by : then the port number you set up on the router.

I have an ATT U-Verse router and a Netgear router hooked up to that, then this camera hooked up to my wireless network coming off the router. With some port forwarding on both routers, I was able to view my camera using my public IP address on other computers and my Android cell phones.

The camera can be configures a couple of ways. 1) You can use the software that came with it. Install the software called "search tool", "IPCamera" or "IP Camera Tool" depending on what version you have. plug the camera into you router/hub and make sure your PC is connected to the same router/hub. This will let you configure the camera after the tool has found it. 2) if you can access your router and find out what IP addess it assigned to the camera (look at DHCP table) you can then just open an HTTP browser and put that address in the URL bar. You will then be prompted for a userid id (admin) and password (see manual). From there you can configure the wireless setting and reboot the camera.

No. and that's one reason it works so well. It's setup to dump the video directly to their web site..All you have to do is to tell it how to log into your wifi..You could for example take it to a hotel and use it to monitor your room, if the hotel had wifi.

I was able to connect mine using the "Ip Cam Viewer Basic" app with the following settings:Name: any nameMake: DahuaModel: Dahua Camera RTSPHost/IP: (camera's local IP - can be found on camera interface, Network | TCP/IP | IP Address)RTSP Port: 554Ch #: 1Enter camera's User & PswdPress Test, should get imageMake sure your android phone is connected to WiFi and has an IP address on the same subnet as the camera.

No it does not, but we hooked it up to our internet WI FI router and can view all the cameras locally or using the Swann provided software (Netviewer) we can log on securely over the internet and view all activity. The customer service walked me through the steps for connection and set up. It works great!

The camera will need an internal IP address, but it doesn't have to be connected to the Internet

Don't know about that but you might want to try contacting support on wansview website, also there are some utilities available for download there. http://wansview.net/tools-support.htmlOne thing though, I was able to set it up without using the installation disc.What you want to do is first connect the camera to your router via lan cable, then in your router admin site find out the IP the camera was assigned and then access the camera using that IP. I hope this helps.

You do not need Internet access to view the stream live. Just use a web browser and connect directly to camera via its internal IP address.

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.

The video stream is actually established between the WiFi module (in the camera housing) and your router. You can then tap into that video stream with a computer on your network for recording. Recording is done through Internet Explorer or a third party recording application. You can also push this feed to the Internet for live viewing remotely, such as with a mobile phone or tablet. Thus, it doesn't really connect directly to your computer. You will need to be on the computer for initial configuration. We have live tech support that can do all that for you via Remote Desktop.

If you have internet and WiFi, you at least have a modem and a wireless access point, unless you live in a community that provides WiFi to the residents. For ANY camera system, if you want to be able to watch the video remotely, you need a router that can be configured for port forwarding. That kind of configuration is not rocket science, but requires some basic networking knowledge. If you don't know the meaning of terms like "IP address", "subnet mask", "NAT" and "port forwarding" I strongly suggest to look for someone that can do the work for you.

I don't think so - it basically turns the power lines in your home into a short range Ethernet. You still have to have the camera plugged into something that sends the data on the ether-line. The only way a camera can be wireless is to be either broadcasting (there are blue-tooth cameras, but they are easy to hack - esp baby monitors) or self recording.

You need to understand how port forwarding works on your router and assign a port to the camera if you want to access it from outside your home network. by default the camera powers up using DHCP to obtain an address from your router. It communicates using the http port 80 on your router. If you want to use it outside your home network or if you have more than one camera you need to assign it a port on your router and setup this port number in your camera. The camera interface is very easy to navigate.

hmmm, you may not need to. If you connect it to your laptop via the Ethernet port you may be able to setup the wireless connection on it. I don't think you necessarily have to be plugged into a router. The camera will be setup with a default IP Address right out of the box. The idea is for you to access the camera's settings from your laptop directly connected to it via Ethernet. From there you can go to Network/Wireless and have it pick up your wireless connection. Hope this helps.

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
