Will using this router affect my security camera system that is linked to the internet?

Not specifically. It only blocks which sites you can access, not the content or functions which may be hidden in the site. Instagram is a great example - it makes it through the filter (unless you specify otherwise) and its' content can contain porn. So, bottom line - just make sure you set BUC to access the internet site supporting your application and you should be fine. BUC has the best technical support (real person on the phone) I've found. Call and talk with them if you have questions. It's a very good product.

It is only a IP camera.This camera require a router to work with it. Dlink camera should not have built-in router. You does not have to get a static IP.

I didn't have significant problems with interference with this unit & I used the receiver and camera pretty close to a router and signal booster. But I did have problems with other cameras I tried. I'm not savvy enough to know if the type of router or construction materials would matter with the type of camera. For the record, we have apple products and masonry construction, and we had a reliable signal, with about 75' and 4 walls between camera and reciever, an airport extreme 12' from receiver and a airport express about 12' from the camera.

Cameras that accept power over ethernet connect to POE. I would make sure the camera you are using is POE before connecting. The LAN side plugs into a switch or router.

This would give you multiple network connections. A internet (ex cable) router would be needed to access the cameras from outside the building.

I am using two of these devices to stream wireless video (CCTV/CCCD) feeds to a 2.4/5Ghz router. That router, in turn, is connected by cable to the main system router that connects to the DSL modem for the internet. All cameras have internet connections. Note: Your main router must connect at 5Ghz.

I purchased and are using 4 of these cameras without issues. I would first check to confirm that your power source is constant. It is recommended that the cameras should have a static addressed and not be assigned a new one by the router. Even if you were to get a new ip address, that should prompt the camera to reboot. My understanding is the camera only reboot by 1) power on/off 2) from the software to reboot device.

No, you will only need to port forward if you want to access the camera from outside of the network it is connected to.

Same problem here. It seems now you can only manage the camera from the same network/lan/wlan, meaning the computer or your cell phone and the camera need to connect to the same router at home.

Once connected to you router you then must run the "iguard utility" to config the camera, after you go over the config, you can then ck it actually working by selecting "ActiveX" next to the open eye on the upper left... If you do not have an open eye next to the "ActiveX" then you have something wrong in the setup or your router... Depending on your brand router, you must go into the routers setup/config and identify the camera ip address and port you want to pass through the router...It will not work until you properly config your camera and router... Thoroughly read the pdf file on the cd to better understand the proper setup for your camera...

I would advise you plug this in somewhere that is securely inaccessible, either have it directly feeding inside your home or some kind of box by the camera with all wiring covered and out of reach, don't want someone walking by out of sight of your camera, pulling the plug or snipping the cable and disabling your security.

I'm not sure.. I can only view the camera from inside my home. POINTLESS. I'm guessing I have to call my cable company to see how to access my secure network from a different network. So as of right now, it just takes up space. I'm not tech savvy, if you are then it could be a perfect item for you.

These wireless cameras communicate with your wireless router. When you leave home you can turn oof your computers and log into the cameras threw your router. The range between your camera and router depends on the router but the cameras should respond well unless you live in a manson then get a stronger router. You login the cameras from anywhere in the world using the free DNS service that comes with each camera. If you are planning to mount these cameras in a window I would suggest black since white will reflect the image on the camera in some cares. Other wise white in fine especially if you are trying to blend it in on a shelf. These wireless cameras communicate with your wireless router.

That might be a far distance. You connect the camera to a box to an outlet. The box sends the info wirelessly to another box connected to the router. From there, it goes into their server to your account. I think it's too far to send the info. I think it's better to be hard wired if it's that far away and that distance to be covered.

I have mine plugged into my wireless router via a networking cable...that way I can see my CCTV DVR wirelessly via internet explorer on any computer with wireless capability.

We use this camera with a wireless router. We have learned the farther your camera is away from the router signal source the slower it operates. However, you can also connect directly to it using ethernet cable. Or, connect it to a modem/router using ethernet cable.

Ours is over 100 feet away from the router and works just fine. There is a short delay from sending photos via the internet but that's it.
