GPS &amp; WIFI make my husband nervous about security. Can those features be turned on and off while the rest of the camera maintains functionality?

Yes you don't need GPS or WIFI turned on to use the camera. I always leave my GPS off as it can drain the battery faster. I also leave the WIFI off unless I am transferring pictures to my phone.

I read somewhere that the interference was a result of the wifi being on in the camera, they say to turn it off. Another solution has been to wrap the camera in aluminum foil to help with the camera interfering with the GPS. I am not sure this will work for you, but others have said they have had success with these methods

Sorry I don't know the answer to that question, I thought about going wifi, did a little research I found out that the security system would hog up all my wifi power and that computers would lag possibility of camera lag along with other devices, so I hard wired everything all cameras which is time consuming but reliable and now I don't have to worry about all my other devices.

I don't think there is a way to set up an alert but the camera status changes to "offline".

It's not good for traveling, the camera has to connect with the routers IP address. You can't do that on the road, this is pretty much only good for your house.

We have had no problem with unplugging the device temporarily. It remembers its network settings and comes back up fairly quickly. You could also make use of a USB battery pack that would keep the camera going as you move it.

If paired with the wifi remote (sold separately) you can turn it on and off. I use it with the smartphone app and you can control all the functions and preview and view video and photos but won't turn on and off camera at this time.

This can be turned on/off via the settings. But it has no function, so if the camera is working it doesn't matter.

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.

When you're a novice like myself, the one thing everyone should do is tweak the "sensitivity" in advanced settings for "Motion Detection", I stopped a sh.. load of unnecessary e-mail notifications. AND also (for new "owners of), you DO have to "continue anyway" and click on that when you get certificate security warnings. There's also a recent firmware update for (DCS-932L)to 2.01 - probably the same with other cameras.

Yes as those things mentioned will mess with any security cams I have dealt with. However, each camera has its own sensitivity settings to where you can tweak each can. It might take a little tweaking to get them set the way you like but once you do, they work really well.

Yes it does, you can turn it off and on as well as the GPS. I stand by this camera as ut is my most favorite.

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

1. Yes it keeps plaiyng. But you can make gps volume louder. Whebln someone rings it turns off sound. 2. Map and gps software are stored on sd card. You can extract it and update map. 3. Did not try to connect camera. Sorry.

The GPS feature cannot be turned off, but you can use other media players like QuickTime and VLC to playback the driving video without showing the location data. The recorded video file format is standard MP4.

thanks Draven...but do you know if i can also hook up extra motion/trip sensors ? ...and does the cpu use pixel changes in camera images to detect motion that act like a trip sensor/alarm ?
