There is no built-in WiFi in the camera. You would need to go through a computer for live streaming.

Camera is independent and has little to do with your PC's age other than setup and occasional viewing via your PC or other browser capable devices. You do need a relatively current browser. Your network is more important (wired or wifi) for streaming or downloading recorded videos on your LAN or over the internet (provided your router/firewall is setup to allow viewing from the internet). Once setup, camera will continue to run even if your PC is off. The manual has setup suggestions (frame rate so on) and the tech support is pretty prompt so you can ask them for the best streaming configuration, if you are worried about your bandwidth. I would get the higher resolution versions of the camera though.

Thx for asking! I've problem to get it connected to my wifi. My computers can detect it only when the camera is connected to the router with the cable. But when I remove the cable, my camera cannot be detected! I bought it on Sept 2014... Not sure if I can return it. &#128546;

You cannot connect the camera to a computer. The ethernet socket is for connecting it to the router, which you need to do in order to set it up. Once it is set up you can disconnect the ethernet cable and connect to the router through wifi. If you have not bought this yet, I would look at a different one. I have five of these types of cameras. They are all knock offs of the Foscam camera. I have had good luck with all of them except this one. I had it set up at our camper so I could keep an eye on things there. I could almost never connect to it, and when I did the response was agonizingly slow. It would reboot for no reason constantly, which means more waiting. I tried three of the other cameras just to rule out other hardware and the internet connection. They all worked great and very fast. I just packed this camera up to send it back to Amazon. Do yourself a favor and buy the Wanview or the Foscam. They are about the same price. Those are the two that I have that work best and are the fastest.

No. It will not "stream" directly from the camera to a computer over any network. You have to connect it via USB and transfer the videos that way. It does it much faster than expected if that's any consolation.

This Is An IP Wireless Camera! Once you set it up it can be accessed on your home network or via the web with proper configuration!

"Wireless" refers to the technology with which it sends information to & from the network. This camera has WiFi built in (and also a wired ethernet option). In that sense, yes- it is a wireless camera. However, it DOES require external power and will need a cord run to it for power purposes - unless you rig up a battery powered external power source on your own.

u can hook it up to an wi-fi router and connect thru an ip port, not exactly wireless by definition but it doesn't require a wire to your screen tv or anything else that you want to watch it on, if you are talking about making the cameras wireless than good luck but it's not worth it!

Yes you can live stream. It has a DV CONNECTOR. You will need a FireWire port on your computer to transfer your tapes, or live stream.You will have a challenge finding a computer that will be compatible with your CAM. So much so that I sent my cam back to the sender after trying a plethora of times.This is an older model, (maybe it came out in 98). I highly suggest you purchase a newer model. My two cents...

Ok...so...there is no simple answer to this question. If you just take this out of the box and expect a "live stream" setting of some sort you won't find one. But it is very possible to use this camera for this. First, a Google search DID turn results. So, if you need specifics, there's your starting place. This camera has an hdmi jack, so whatever you're recording can be broadcast to an external video display (a TV or a piece of equipment which streams it live over the Internet- like a capture or video card attached to a computer or some standalone equipment I'm sure exists). I don't know if that hdmi sends sound too. However, there are alternate hookups available. There is a yellow audio/video output for component cables. The Internet says this can be used for either audio out for headphones or for video out. But apparently not for both at the same time. Either way, there's people rigging this up successfully. Search around and be prepared for some adapters, software, and possibly hardware. There's no built in video server or anything fancy. Not sure if any cameras in the world have that. So, I think the appropriate answer is that this camera does everything that all other cameras do really, and seems to stream live rather than just play recorded over externals. Not sure if sound will come from one hookup or from multiple jacks/cords.

Only if you run an LAN cable out to the camera from a router. Without wireless, no signal... And of course it needs to be plugged in.

It has it's on bandwidth. When you hook the monitor up to your computer you call log in remotely to view the cameras. I am not sure if it can patch into the house wifi...

Keep in mind this is only a converter. It does a wonderful job of converting SDI into HDMI. With that said, as long as you have the proper capture device between your computer and the converters HDMI output I don't see any reason why you couldn't use it for live streaming.

no, the live viewing has to be uploaded to INTERNET , then your smartphone can connect to the camera .

No, it needs to be connected to a DVR receiver and has a specific monitor. Since it is not ip camera , it can't be connected to computer directly.

This camera can be used for live streaming? Using Ustream.com and similar services?

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