Can I configure this camera to be connected to my home WiFi Router when car is parked near house? Does it allow to stream live feed then?

I haven't tried networking mine to my home network. I did download their app on my I-Phone and watch live streaming video that way. However, the range of the internal WiFi isn't very far. I'm guessing it's around 25 feet? The unit is very cool. I drive an average of 1000 miles per week. I like the having the idiot drivers on video should something happen.

You need an ethernet (power over ethernet). I had one spot prewired. The way the cam is detected is via your power outlet.

Dear Paul, change the WIFI encyption authenication with our "Eyesee Finder", please come to www.szgeeya.com/ipc for related software. Please know that the camera shall not be too much near the wifi router, like dark under the lamp. But if long time video recording or surveillance, we would advise wired connection. Further questions please feel free to contact us.

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.

Sorry man, your thinking of live video feeds, this camera is not able to do that. I wish it did but all it does is capture and do playbacks.

This camera is set up as part of surveillance system with its own access and alerts mechanism. I am not using this camera with wifi either as it drops connection with blueiris a lot. It's a camera with good resolution, angle as documented, IR is very strong but it's the slowest camera on my network by far.

Hello Armando, HomeMonitor requires a minimum upload and download speed of 0.5Mbps for live view and it's recommended that the camera be no more than 15 meters from your router so the camera has enough signal strength and bandwidth to upload the video. Please let us know if you have any more questions. Network Camera Store

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.

Do I need to have something else to view the video on this camera or can I just connect to a monitor and thats it? I dont want to record, just real time monitoring for my garage. What I want to do, is to have a camera wired to my room's tv, so whenever someone is getting close to my garage entrance, I can see from my tv, instead of going to the garage entrance.. will this work?

I initially connected the camera to set it up in terms of changing the password, setting up the wireless info, port forwarding and recording. After that you can place it anywhere within range. I also changed something in the router to increase the ms in which the signal was sent from my router which increased range and the quality of the recordings.

I took it to a car alarm installer. They hard-wired it to a power source that is only on, when the ignition is on. When I start the car, the camera is powered on. The negative of that is there is NO "parking mode" available when the engine is off.

You can turn the camera's wifi on and it will act like a hotspot so you can connect with your phone and see a live feed. However, you will need to be in range of the camera's wifi, not sure how far that is, but I'm sure it isn't too much.

I don't think so - it basically turns the power lines in your home into a short range Ethernet. You still have to have the camera plugged into something that sends the data on the ether-line. The only way a camera can be wireless is to be either broadcasting (there are blue-tooth cameras, but they are easy to hack - esp baby monitors) or self recording.

I don't believe that will work. The only way it would is your wifi has a 10 mile plus signal range. The camera needs to connect to wifi to then to the internet

The software seems to want it plugged into the router at first while you set it up, after it is setup though it can be used as a completely wireless cam (Except for the power cord of course.)
