Does it require a subscription or other hardware to work or does it work just through the wireless network more like an app?

No, it does not require a subscription if you buy the keypad lock without the kit (much cheaper). You can program in about 20 different codes and change them whenever you like. If you want to monitor who is coming and going, then you can purchase the kit, but I will tell you that I did that and Nexia is NOT customer friendly. I had this system all set up and working, and then flew back to the state where I live, and the Nexia system quit working. There was absolutely nothing they would or could do, and I was stuck with a system that did not work, and no help. It was a complete waste of money. The Schlage lock itself is wonderful. Nexia is terrible! If you can find another system, I would choose that.

With Nexia you use a subscription for any of the automated cool stuff. Nexia is absolutely terrible when it come to customer service. God forbid you have a problem and expect help. I still use them as I am kinda of trapped by them, but would definitely have gone another route hind sight 20/20......Micasaverde would be the route I would go.

No; it works fine on my wifi network. If your wifi connection's OK at home, not a problem.

No cell service required. Just gotta have your Bluetooth on, which is independent of cell service. The app will want to be connected to the internet whether through wifi or cell service, but its not a requirement for it to run.

Yes, in order to use a network, it only responds to a wired connection; i.e., no wifi.

Yes. It still works when the subscription runs out. The subscription is for updated virus, spam and other intrusion methods that come out. If your serious about security you need to keep this thing updated.

This includes its own wifi but is limited to transfer of files from and to devices only, with no streaming capability. Using it like you would a Verizon Mifi wifi Internet connection won't work. It's limited and will give you a message saying that.

It is designed to work with Wifi. It will run in an offline mode (without weather schedule changes) if your internet is down.

Its only broadcast its own network.Simply Wifi is used only to be able connect with your phone to it and download files, watch live on cell or go to settings.

No you don't, it has it's own internet connection both wired and wireless. It has no apps though. It only does XBMC.

The only way to activate your subscription is to get it installed by an authorized installer. They have a special website not available to the public to get it started.

Yes. Just download the app from the appstore and connect through wifi once this unit it installed and synced, then you're good to go. There's no monthly fees or anything.

I beleive the app only works over Wi-Fi on the same network that the radio is on.

Yes the monitor works without wifi. Not sure to what extent though. You will be able to view it with the supplied hand held but most likely won't be able to use the app on your smart phone though (not positive though)

No fees.... Works like a wireless printer thru your router. Just download the free app and start watching through the eye of the device...

Yes it would require a subscription for that. But it's inexpensive for so many features it offers. I love this product and all that it does for the money.

Not sure I have the right answer, but the only time it works for me is if I have it plugged in. And it doesn't work everywhere. As I understand it, the city/area much be a subscriber to the particular service.

The app works on wi fi and LTE. It is a great app...you can monitor the video from anywhere
