To view remotely does the monitor have to be connected to the router via the Ethernet cable? Or is this just required at the initial setup?

It has to remain hooked up. I didn't like that about it at all, plus it has no battery life! 2-3 hrs tops!

It has to be connected to the router via an Ethernet cable for Internet access remotely.

Sorry bob I have not set it up to view remotely. There is an eathernet plug on back of viewing base. I believe you have to have it plugged in to view remotely

The base unit must be connected to the Ethernet cable at all times, but you can remove the monitor from the base and still view provided you have a WiFi signal available to support it. Hope that helps answer the question.

To monitor remotely you need to set each camera to a fixed IP And NAT Each on your firewall from s unique external IP. ALternately you can use the UBNT AirVision DVR and remote to your network then login from a local device. Be sure to check the UBNT knowledge base.

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.

It's hard to know how to respond, because you don't say what ports your router has - or what OS you're using. The spec is pretty complete, and yes, there is no ethernet. If this is really vital, I might try connecting this to a specific host machine (I use Firewire) and then remote mounting it on other machines. (This is easy in the mac world, and I'm sure there are Windows solutions.) Hope this helps. At least, it's probably better than, "Huh?"

Looks like you have to hook up to the internet via an ethernet cable. I'm going to hold out for a wireless unit.

Hi Omar, Nice to hear from you. Yes, you are right, the network streaming feature from PC and Mobile, it needs the ActiveX and you could use browser and CMS to realize remote real time monitor, the advised browser is IE explorer. Pls kindly contact me if any question. Best regards! Security Sannce

Mine is connected via Ethernet. It should show it on the photos of the back of the product.

If you want to see the same image on two different monitors just split the input .... or if your running on wifi ... just connect it to your router .

There is a free app that will allow you to view the monitor over the internet. It is choppier for me, but it works:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/babyping+/id568353841?mt=8

The video stream is actually established between the WiFi module (in the camera housing) and your router. You can then tap into that video stream with a computer on your network for recording. Recording is done through Internet Explorer or a third party recording application. You can also push this feed to the Internet for live viewing remotely, such as with a mobile phone or tablet. Thus, it doesn't really connect directly to your computer. You will need to be on the computer for initial configuration. We have live tech support that can do all that for you via Remote Desktop.

It's a remote monitor, but not wireless. You need to use the RJ-11 data cable to connect.

It has an Ethernet port for LAN. It also has a VGA output which hooks to a regular monitor. I have mine directly connected to my router and an old Dell monitor permanently hooked up so I can always see the cameras.

It must be connected to the router via cable, but if you dont have or dont want to extend ethernet cables you can install a wifi extender near your receiver and connect the receiver to the extender by ethernet, i did that

May also be able to use a network cable to plug into your router. I would just plug it it in to the network to see what happens. How do you currently have it connected? Or is this going to be new?

We plug it in to the router to view remotely on our phones but cameras work to view on a monitor without Internet these cameras are not wireless they come with 60 feet cords

You will initially need a monitor. You have to set up the internet viewing first before you can view it from home, work, or anywhere you would like. How to set this up is on the simply monitor's website.

There is an Ethernet connection socket on the back. It isn't wireless (it's a desktop unit). Having said that, I bought/installed a USB wireless network adapter on the 2 units bought due to difficulties in running cable.
