is it plug and play into the existing home internet network? How do I view the system over the internet when I am away from home.

Its plug and play, but you have to setup the network part that includes your home router and DVR.

Yes, it will show up in your local explorer under network/router if you attach it to the router. works as just another drive if it is attached direct.

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.

So if you are away you will need internet to view it.... Say on your phone through the app... Other wise to watch it at home no internet is needed

No There is not, I plugged a wireless USB device into the front to gain remote access to the internet. There is a LAN card for a direct Ethernet connection to the internet though.

Yes. Once it's on your LAN, it can be accessed via a browser from any device on the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.100.x addresses).

I had someone try to set it up as such but it did not work. Today I am having BrightHouse hook up Internet to it. I think it is meant only as an Internet Interactive television.

Plug and play. You may need to configure it in your control panel, but I didn't.

It connects via ethernet with a power injector in between to send it power. It can connect to your home router instead of directly to your PC as well. You access it via web page to configure it. The instructions give you the default IP address and password to access it.

Yes, Dynamic DNS or VPN in. Plugging it in won't automatically put it on the internet.

It is supposed to work over WiFi, so you theoretically can view it anywhere. In practice, I had two different units and both were defective --- neither one was ever able to connect to a WiFi network, despite multiple conversations with tech support. So, at least in my experience, the answer is that you cannot monitor it at all unless you connect directly to the unit.

Not sure how all this works? Can someone please tell me what I need to install this and what does it do? If i understand correctly, I have to already have internet set up in my home, then with this device, i can get wifi for up to serveral devices? so its like a wifi hotspot?

No. I have a few around the house and they're plug and play if you have a basic home network.

For a home network it's pretty much plug-n-play. You will have to reboot your computers after you put the router onto the network because it will assign different IP addresses (192.168.88.0 I think... I forget) but it should just start up and run. It's only when you start doing port forwarding, special outbound blocking, etc. that it can get tricky.

It must be wired to your router. After it is connected to your router it may be accessed through wireless if you have a wireless router.

Are your asking can you locally access the drive or remotely access it? If its on your home network it does not use the Internet. But if you want remote access from outside your house you need the Internet. The only problem I'm having is remote access. I'm on the second drive, first one replaced by Buffalo, and we cannot keep remote web access working!!!
