live view remote connectivity only available through an internet wifi connection?

I don't have the live view remote, but I can connect through the Wi-Fi connection between my phone(Note 2) and the Action cam using the android app. The live view remote is also Wi-Fi, so it should work just like my phone, uses the Wi-Fi connection between the two. I think the spec list the Wi-Fi connection between the 2 to about 5m.

When they use the term "WiFi" to connect your remote to the camera, is easy to think you need your home router's wifi and internet for it to work . What it means, is that the camera acts like a router, and either your phone or the liveview remote act as a receiver. You connect to the camera "hotspot" and receive the stream from it. You DONT need internet nor your home wifi for this. Also the specs mention NFC. You don't need it to pair with your phone. You just type the WiFi password into your phone like you would on a normal WiFi.

I'm not sure. I can access it by wifi at home but don't know how to do it from the Internet.

The video stream is actually established between the WiFi module (in the camera housing) and your router. You can then tap into that video stream with a computer on your network for recording. Recording is done through Internet Explorer or a third party recording application. You can also push this feed to the Internet for live viewing remotely, such as with a mobile phone or tablet. Thus, it doesn't really connect directly to your computer. You will need to be on the computer for initial configuration. We have live tech support that can do all that for you via Remote Desktop.

No, you don't need to wifi to make it work. But if you want to monitor from anywhere, then you need Internet connection. Remote access needs configuration, I use a free dynamic dns NO-IP.com to connect to Internet. Drawback is I have to activate service each month.

You can do either one, or choose either external or laptop screen only. But I've yet to figure out how to really fix the wifi hanging up problem....

Yes you need to have an internet connection to view off site. I have mine wired to my network, but need an IP address that doesn't change so I can view off site.

Brite View offers a PC Utility on their web site that will allow remote monitoring.I just spoke to their Tech Support staff just 10 minutes ago.

Just needs to be hooked to a screen not a computer. If it is connected to a public IP address, it may be accessed remotely by a computer browser however.

From a mobile device connected to your network. I have not been able to get it to work from a remote location but it will work when set up correctly

I'm not completely sure but the web site only mentioned viewing from a smart phone. Thats how I use it, and it works like a charm

There are three ways you can view remotely.. That is why this system is the best. You can set up a skype account to view or plug it directly into your modem/router. This is far more safe than using the app. I don't like using apps for third companies to be able to gather my surveillance recorded footage.

It can be viewed from anywhere with Internet access. All you need is that IP address of the router that the camera is connected to, and the port associated with the camera (e.g. 8090)

You can view it anywhere as long as you have a wifi or data connection, however the video feed is so choppy and lags so bad that I sent mine back.

Hi, I may be able to help you with remote viewing. Some apps seem to be more compatible than others. What kind of device and what operating system do you intend to use ?

It has to be connected to the router via an Ethernet cable for Internet access remotely.
