GPS & WIFI make my husband nervous about security. Can those features be turned on and off while the rest of the camera maintains functionality?

I only turn on the Wi-Fi feature to use my smart phone to operate the camera. Fun to play with. Then I turn the Wi- Fi off. You have to turn them on to use. You also have to remember to turn them off as it will drain the battery faster.

Yes you don't need GPS or WIFI turned on to use the camera. I always leave my GPS off as it can drain the battery faster. I also leave the WIFI off unless I am transferring pictures to my phone.

Unfortunately I have no idea about GW Security. We have been using cameras and DVRs for several years and so they are all very similar. The Security System should have a manual that takes you through all of the features. Do not be afraid, you can learn all the features. I have considered putting together a training course for camera security systems. If you're interested let me know.

I have used the WiFi several times, but have yet to note the GPS feature on the Coolpix. The small Manual that came with the camera does not mention it either. I just went through the settings menu and see no mention of GPS, which I do have on my D7100 Nikon.

I think...and I can't really remember...you have to click your wifi off after the setup process and switch the switch on the back of the camera if I remember correctly. Here's a number to the seedonk/isecurity 18002932168. Good luck!!

Hi Ron I added the backup camera. It connects wirelessly to the GPS. It was the main reason we bought this GPS. We have Garmin, Magellan and Tomtom and if you just want a GPS then the Garman is the best.

Both answers are no. GPS only marks where the picture is taken and WiFi is to downloas pictures

I think you can. When we are at home we can check the cameras on our tablets and cell phones over our home network. Still can't get it to work at outside business.

Sorry for late answer. We use our cameras specificly for taking pictures and have never used the GPS feature. Sorry could not be more help.

Nope. Any motion sensing would have to be done in the software. Most modern systems do it this way, these days. Keeps the cost down on the camera, anyway.

I don't think there is a way to set up an alert but the camera status changes to "offline".

1. Yes it keeps plaiyng. But you can make gps volume louder. Whebln someone rings it turns off sound. 2. Map and gps software are stored on sd card. You can extract it and update map. 3. Did not try to connect camera. Sorry.

Yes you can control over the enternet, except enabling or disabling patrol mode which the camera can automatically move to a series of predetermine locations.

I think what may help is motion detection. I already asked the tech support guy and he said they are working towards this functionality. I would think it be done soon over the next release or two. So far my camera works great so over all its a good by. good luck ;)

No. There is another model with the same lenses and megapixels that has GPS and wireless photo download. I opted for the non-GPS on the assumption that GPS will greatly reduce the battery life, but I don't have direct experience with that. Something to look into.

I have never seen this info on Wi-Fi so I would doubt it- have enough trouble figuring out the little icons- have never had this nice of a camera and so am extremely protective of it- probably the reason I miss a lot of good pictures- afraid to take it out in the woods- maybe this spring or summer- perhaps

Yes as those things mentioned will mess with any security cams I have dealt with. However, each camera has its own sensitivity settings to where you can tweak each can. It might take a little tweaking to get them set the way you like but once you do, they work really well.

No, sorry. You can read your email and such. Sort of like a PC on WiFi, you can access the internet. It takes pictures and uses them to locate for the GPS. Take a picture and then the GPS can bring you back to the picture. /Larry
