It must be mounted and you must tell it to "connect to internet" for remote viewing. I'm using it on a XP/32 machine and a Samsung Galaxy 8.9 with few issues. For the price, it works as expected.

you need an outlet for the cam, discuss whether you have it exterior or interior, we have our cam plugged inside, so had to drill a hole through wall to the exterior where the cam would be hooked up outside.... we had our cam successfully connected to a wired network, but not wireless because of the type of modem we have, so its also important to contact your wireless provider and discuss the type of security camera's you want to use and want to make sure you can access the modem by computer to set up wireless access for the cameras.

They are NOT wireless cameras, that's why they have wires in the photo. They do have wireless capabilities, meaning, once you hook them up, you can connect them to your router and access the footage from anywhere, from your TV or phone if those devices are connected to the internet. You can hook these directly to your TV if it has usb ports or if your tv is connected to your computer system. I hooked mine to my desktop computer, because I can use my mouse to change the settings.

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.

You have to have electrical outlets close to where you are going to attach them and then plug them in. They do need electric to work but they send the pictures to the monitors via wireless. These cameras give a very clear and detailed pictures and sound. When it is night out, on the monitors it looks almost like day but no light outside to give away the camera.

Hi Jennifer, This is not a wireless camera system. It still need wires to let the whole system work. If you want to do remote view, you need to set up the DDNS. Will that answer your questions? Do you have any other questions? Thank you, and have a nice day : ) Guardian Electronic Service

the camera isn't wireless but the video monitor is. The camera must be plugged into a power source.

These cameras rely on the DVR for mobile access, they are NOT network/IP cameras. I have two connected to a Samsung DVR, I use Samsung mobile app call iPolis to monitor from work.

Thank you for your inquiry. These cameras are not wireless nor battery powered. In order to build a working camera system, you'll need the cameras, a DVR recorder, cabling, and power supplies.

You need to connect it to your router with a cable initially, then use a PC, or a device with a browser to configure it for wireless. Once that is done and tested, no pc is needed, the camera is self contained, just needs power.

Yes, it will work fine... but it will work better with a little tech know-how.You can use the viewing utility that should come with it, and there are many other ways as well.I sometimes use a Chrome browser window, but usually I use VLC (a free downloadable multimedia app).You can also buy Blue Iris from amazon which is very good.The wireless model might not give you the performance that the wired model will, but I have had both outdoors for three years through 110 degrees heat down to -20 freezing and they never skip a beat. Nevertheless, my wired cameras are a smoother picture than the wireless one.bottom line: yes, it will work with vista & netgear.

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

These cameras are connected to a network either by wireless or directly connected. They do not have a video out connector to hook up to a recording device like a DVR

These answers are wrong. You do not need internet access and can view the cameras using local (LAN) IP addresses.

Yes as log as you are hooked up through the Internet. I originally had mine on my network but had foscam hook them up so I can see and move the cameras any where in the world. Also you can zoom. Just two on the photo

Hi Scott, Well, after installing several of the cameras, I have found the picture quality lacking in general. I installed with both the cables they supplied as well as serpentine POC coaxial cable in some areas rather than what they supplied due to distances I needed to run lines, and both are not good pictures. These are being used in a church environment, and we have a lot of interference from wireless devices and networks, so possibly affecting things here. May be a component/driver strength issue or an interference issue...not sure If using for home/smaller office, it may perform better. As for our environment, I am migrating to network based POE box cameras since DVR's have just not worked that well, and we've had numerous. I have had to replace them pretty much annually...hard drive crashes, firmware problems, power/fan problems, etc. Have only had this one a few months, so no problems thus far. Long range costs are just not worth replacing DVRs so often for our purposes any more. Sorry don't have better answer for your specific question.

You need a monitor to get the system setup. After it's setup and you view the system remotely you don't need to have the monitor connected.
