Will the camera work without a wireless router? Iphone directly to camera?

You need to have connection to a network for both the iPhone and the camera. I don't believe you can go directly from phone to camera.

The answer is "yes, depending on your recording needs". The camera can email short video clips triggered by timed motion detection - or, if your technically adept, you can set up a samba server to manage timed video uploads - or you can use top notch, inexpensive viewing software for remote viewing and manual recording saved to your smartphone, pad or computer. The last option requires that you set up an inexpensive ($19/year) DNS service. Your camera installation software will help you do this. Note: your wifi router should be a UPnP router. Apple routers will not work unless you are an expert technologist capable of working with port forwarding. All this may seem complicated - but it's not. My 4 cameras work using techniques 1 and 3 - and I'm a businessman - not a technologist.

Yes, you need to have a wireless router , and connect the camera to the router via Ethernet cable, then the camera joins your family WLAN. You can follow up the 3 simple step in camera description on Amazon to get live feed on your iPad or iPhone .

I was never able to get the camera to work on the wireless. So, no. In my experience, you are better off purchasing a different camera (brand).

Yes you can configure the cameras without internet or Wi-Fi. No internet needed.

For initial setup you must connect the camera to the router with the included Ethernet cable. This allows you to configure the wireless settings and once completed can be unplugged and placed where you'd like provided you have a wireless signal and power.

Nope not wireless. If you want a wirless camera try searching for a "wireless" or "IP" cameras, and they are usually viewed using software provided by the manufacturer or a 3rd party software provider and by typing in the camera's IP address. Hope this helped!

Yes, this camera will still record under no network. You just won't be able to view anything on your cellphone.

Here is probably what you want to do.1) Configure your router's DHCP server to assign a specific IP address for the camera's MAC address. (There should be a label on the camera with a MAC address printed). 2) Connect the camera to your router using a CAT5/6 cable so it would get a IP address assigned via DHCP.3) Open a web browser and connect to camera at the IP address assigned.4) Go to the Wireless setup screen, do Site Survey and pick the wireless network you want to connect to and enter the required WPA2 password.Once you confirmed the WiFi connection is working, you can unplug the CAT5/6 cable.

What they already said- NO. But, I tried a "wireless" before and unless the camera has its own power (battery), it has to be wired to a power source. That turned out to be less do-able than this system with power and communication going thru same cable.

Best to call and ask Foscam directly but you would not need an additional wireless router if you already have one for your home.

Initial setup requires you connect the camera to your router, after that it is wireless other than the power source.

You have to hard wire the camera to your modem initially when it is wired you can then set it up using your smart phone. You would have to download the "pixpo" app and then scan the barcode on the side of the camera to link it to your phone. After you have the camera linked and installed you an unplug from modem and move to any location and it will work wirelessly. Hope this helps.

All I know is the signal is by the included cables from receiver to a monitor. I don't know of any way to catch the wireless signal from camera to another device. My model is not intended for internet or cell use.

Hi, I don't use the wireless feature so I would not be able to answer this. It's a great little camera though.
