Does it work without any PC connected in the router? Will this camera work in this bare setting?

After the camera has been setup, no PC is required to operate it. The camera works standalone (just needs Internet access)

Nope. It hooks up to your wireless router. I have this camera and manage it wirelessly from my laptop.

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.

Not close to cameras now. But. If I remember correctly, cameras connect via 110V line to a single box which is then connected to router. Good luck.

You will need a router to use this camera since the only way to view/monitor is from a smartphone, pc, or other wireless device.

The camera will work and record without any set up. You will however need Windows to change the settings to mph and adjust the time zone. Did this once on a pc and have been downloading and viewing files on my Macs.

You just need the computer (PC or Mac) and the ability to plug the camera into your router for set up. i use the iPhone Foscam Pro app to monitor.

It works without any computer connection. It records straight from your video source to a SD memory card.

Can this camera be used standalone, or must it be part of a security system? I am looking for a camera to watch two pieces of property (two cameras) and alert me via text/email, so I can decide whether to call police or not. Both locations have access to router

Those are not IP cameras, but analog cameras. You need connect them to a digital video recorder, which connects to a monitor, then you can view images. No, it does not include any router.

The camera needs to be connected to a hard wire router and electrical outlet. The camera will then need to be plugged into an electrical outlet within the same "house" and on the same wifi. If you're using the camera at McDonalds and not remote location then the base still needs to be plugged into the router. At home the camera can be in one room. The base must be plugged into a wall electrical outlet and hard wired into the router.Hope that helps.

I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but as long as the camera is connected to and in range of your Wi-Fi it will work. My Wi-Fi is in the basement and I have cameras on both the first and second floors of the house. You can view it on your phone or computer anywhere in range of the Wi-Fi simply by logging in to the Wi-Fi address of the camera. In order to view it from somewhere outside your Wi-Fi range you will need to do port forwarding. (Port forwarding allows your smart phone or whatever your using to view the camera access to your router) Once that's done you can view the cameras from anywhere in the world as long as the camera is still connected to the Wi-Fi in your house.

it's wireless and wired .For initial setup, you need to connect the camera directly to your router or switch with a network cable. You cannot connect wirelessly to the camera without first setting it up via a network cable. After successful wireless configuration, then unplug the Ethernet cable and camera will automatically switch to wireless mode

It's not good for traveling, the camera has to connect with the routers IP address. You can't do that on the road, this is pretty much only good for your house.

I have an ATT U-Verse router and a Netgear router hooked up to that, then this camera hooked up to my wireless network coming off the router. With some port forwarding on both routers, I was able to view my camera using my public IP address on other computers and my Android cell phones.

Reset the camera to factory defaults by pressing and holding the reset switch near the camera's power jack with a paper clip for at least 15 seconds. Then upon the next power up the camera should work. As soon as you connect it to your router, your router will automatically give you an IP address. Hope this helps

Not sure how you have wireless internet without a router. However, yes you need a router, the camera is useless without one.
