Will the unit stream directly to a computer?

No. It will not "stream" directly from the camera to a computer over any network. You have to connect it via USB and transfer the videos that way. It does it much faster than expected if that's any consolation.

Yep. Just plug it into your computer, then find an empty rca input on your receiver like "aux" and choose that channel on the receiver. Super easy

Yes it will connect directly, there is nothing you will have to install. Right click your network icon and connect to the available network.

No it just gives you output via optical and or coax into a external receiver for example.

no, it is only connected through USB to your computer and your computer must be on for you to use it.

Hello Yes, this would work just fine for a direct connection to a laptop. If you try it and it doesn't work, the unit may be defective or DOA.

If it isn't hardwired directly to your computer, yes. If you have wifi you need a router.

It's a standalone unit. You do not need a computer for regular operation. You just need to connect this unit to your network via wired or wireless connection.

No. It has a line output only that needs to feed an external amplifier. You can plug it into powered computer speakers and it will work fine.

Yes, so long as you have an open gigabit Ethernet port open in the back, which you'll have to plug directly into

I have only streamed from an attached external hard drive. This works just fine.

Yes it does. I've had this unit connected to my tower and laptop without issues.

If you have the LED display, it will. If you have the touchscreen, the streaming element should already be in the receiver.

As long as your computer has HDMI out, you can plug that into this unit's input. Then, connect the outs to your monitor, and TV

Do not buy this, it has been very unreliable for us. If you do, it does stream from any device that is compatible with USB 2.0 specification as long as you can install the application. I do not believe you can install the app on your receiver, but then again, I am not an expert on that.

No. But it will feed directly to a WiFi point like the UniFi Enterprise WiFi System Access Point which includes a built-in WiFi controller. I recommend it.

No, it needs to plug into a provided USB cable to connect to a computer (which is easy).
