The ip camera doesn't need to record to a DVR and don't need to hardwired to the DVR . it can send video via wifi to a PC or FTP server , NAS and Email account .

I don't think so. It's a great game trail/security camera and takes good pics, but it's pretty simple. There's no wi-fi capability that I can see. To view the pics you've got to remove the storage card to your laptop or something similar. Still, a great motion camera for the price. So, today I found my owners manual and much to my surprise, there is an WiFi SD card option! Per the manual "....selecting it keeps the SD port powered for a set amount of time to allow files to transfer off the card to the WiFi network set up. Note: Moultrie does not offer tech support for WiFi SD cards. Contact the cards manufacturer for support with WiFi set up."

You can get hardware that allows you to record onto the computer. The hardware is a memory hog. Or maybe it is software.

You might need a computer for initial configuration, but once configured there is no reason to have camera this webcam connected to PC. It is wifi ready.

The camera in and of itself does not send video over the internet. I assume that's your question. To do that you'll need a camera such as this one but you'll also need something with "smarts" inside that can talk to the Internet. Usually that's done with a DVR or NVR. I do have one of these connected to a small box that can output a signal that a tv can use. It displays on my desk in the house locally. NOT over the Internet. Also if you're wishing to view what this camera sees over the Internet you need to know that you will not be sending the 700 lines of information. While the camera may be capable of 700 lines, when you're viewing remotely you'll get many less lines than the 700. The camera in and of itself does not send video over the internet.

Yes, provided you have access to a high speed router in the room or in the facility, you will need an Internet connection and a PC in the room. You will plug the camera into an electrical outlet and from another outlet you will need to plug the receiver into an outlet, then to your router and PC. It is quick and easy to do once you have these connections. Then you can view the camera live on a smart phone anywhere and also record a few weeks of video onto the PC. The app is free and there will be no monthly charges other than the Internet connection Good idea, IMO

I purchased this camera for my son to be used at a high school for photography class. It has been a good camera with WiFi capability. He has already got some pretty good use out of it. Everything you need comes with the camera. I believe he charges it like other electronic items but not sure since I haven't used it. All in all, any item from Samsung is a good solid purchase. Hope all this helps.

Also, I see some folks saying that third party software is required...this is not true. The webpage built into the camera allows you to record to the local computer that the webpage is brought up on...ok so no, you don't need another software, unless you want to record as a DVR or NVR, meaning the webpage doesn't have to be up, but the DVR/NVR application has to be running.

These Cameras just are a video feed they don't record or do anything on their own. You need something else to record your video/ still shots like a DVR or a video recording program on your computer. You also need a power supply and wires to connect to whatever you are recording with. There are other cameras that come with some or all of this stuff.

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.

It comes with everything that it said would come with the camera. I did not have enough parts to be able to record to a DVR. I had to order a micro hdmi to 3 rca plugs cable and a power transformer to power the camera for longer periods of time. I had to talk to Sony before I got the parts I needed. I still have not used the camera for my band. We do not play that much, but when we do I'll use it and see if it does what I want. I want it mainly for sound.

Hi Nathan. I ended up returning this product. My husband wanted this but we currently rent a house and you need to run power to this camera which would require drilling holes. It is not totally wireless. I had also bought a package which came with the software needed to watch this. You could watch it on a computer or cell phone, but if you want it recorded, you need the DVR box.

the cam will work on wifi , you only need this for set up. I had issues getting it set up and seeing the wifi on my router. i had to go into the cam using the IP address to do the final set up.

Hi Jim, It all depends on how your wifi router is set up. You may have to turn on port forwarding if you want to see the camera view from outside your local network via the iPhone app. I had a bit of a hard time connecting to the camera at first, but I think that was because I had mac address filtering turned on on my wifi. Make sure you turn off mac address filtering. Once you find the camera on your wifi network you will have to configure the emaill setting if you would like it to email you a picture when it detects motion. You can see things live through the camera, but it doesn't really record video it just takes some images that it can email to you or upload to a server via ftp. If you are looking for a video recording camera, this probably isn't the product for you. Fell free to hit me back with any other questions and I'll try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. -Jack

Hi. This bundle comes with the camera. It's an awesome deal and a fantastic camera! Check the camera model #s this is NOT the model with the WiFi feature. That may be the differentiator. I actually purchased an Eye-Fi SD memory card that gives me WiFi capabilities to transfer my pics to multiple devices. It's tha Bomb.com
