do you need the monitoring service to access it remotely?

No...You can still receive alerts - e-mail and text - without monitoring company

Do note that this model does not support automation for garage doors. If you want this feature, you need to get the next model.

Yes. You will need to install a WiFi or GSM card and a Zwave card if you want automation. Alarm grid has a plan that is $10 for self monitoring and $10 for automation access. These are per month fees. Much more reasonable compared to the more major security companies.

I guess you can, that is if you can ever get the dang thing to work. I never had any luck with it. I just ended up buying an IP camera and using my monitor when I wanted to see what's going on.

Yes, however whether you can access / view that information is dependent on the software you utilize with this item. This is just the chipset / radio that is required for the protocol.

There's no active monitoring. This is a camera surveillance system. You can set up to system to have remote access to the video, and of course you can review the footage, but there is no monitoring being done by anyone else, so no fees. You just set the system up and use it. If you want active monitoring, then you'd need a different product (one sold with a service).

You can control your alarm system from any internet access or by phone using most alarm monitoring companies that have access to alarm.com. Alarm.com is the largest service that allows you access to control your alarm remotely, but you will need access through a monitoring company monthly subcription. Some online monitoring companies will give you access without a long term contract, but you will need to find a company.

You need a dvr to connect to. And if you hook up thru your router you can view on phone or any computer that has Internet
1290068
Yes, will work with no internet access (obviously won't be able to remotely view feeds/recordings). You don't need a computer at all. However, if you want to view the feeds/recordings, you will need a monitor or a TV hooked up the the security DVR.

Yes, using remote control software (that doesn't require someone at home to enter an access code, like Teamviewer) or with the iTwin remote access hardware device (which gets you access to your entire machine at home).

The unit will operate completely on its own with no external connections of any kind. It only requires that you plug it in for power and plus the video cable into a TV so that you can set your options and make sure your cameras are all pointed where you want to monitor. No internet connection of any kind is required.
1235421
Yes. This can be done. You need to have access to the hot wire you want to monitor.

No, it does not need to be hooked up to a computer. It works through your router and ip address. At home you would view it through a local ip address. Remotely you need to setup a dns page that will link to your dynamic ip. I use Dtdns. With router permissions most of it can be setup through the cameras admin page.

I have mine, and the ONLY way to control remotely is over the internet through the website. I'm not a computer genius, but the thing registers itself, etc... and you need to access it through the web. If anyone knows otherwise, let me know!

No internet is required. However, to activate a subscription (monitoring service), you will need to do that through an online account. That can be done from anywhere. But for the alarm system itself to work, an internet connection in your home is not necessary or used in any way.

Remotely yes - via phone or computer. However "voice commands" will not allow you to turn on/off the unit.

No it doesn't . But using the app on your phone makes it easy to monitor. This is a great device when your away at night to turn on or off remotely.

you may use either or as long as you're inside your home or close to your wifi system. As far as being away from your home and monitoring with this device .. I have not figured out yet. Hope this helps
