Does my computer have to be on for this to work?

Does this device comes with software or is just usb plug in for initial set up. I have tried to plug it into my computer but it is not being read/detected.

You need your computer to set it up. After it is configured it can be off. Your wireless network is all that need be on.

No it does not have to be on to work. You can set it up to alert you whenever it is moving, stationary, or idle.

Yes,just make sure the power button is on.It's the crescent shaped one at the top of your unit with the power icon.

This thing doesn't need to be hooked up to a computer to operate. You just need a TV or computer monitor. Sorry, but I don't have enough of a Geek background with this to know if it can be hooked up to any computer.

Maybe not directly. It is powered and transfers data by USB cable. So it would require the computer connection first.

By default it needs to be plugged in. I think there are wireless dongles for it also.

Nope! It runs on the USB power so all you need to do is plug it into your PC.

This is intended to hook up to a tv or a/v receiver, which is where you will see the functional menus. If by computer connection you mean "internet", yes, internet is not needed for this to work just fine.No, it doesn't turn off after 30 minutes while playing; not sure if it goes into a "hibernation" state if its on but not being used.

Yes no drivers or disk required. Just plug it in, wait 1-2 min for Windows to detect it and it works.

This device is USB powered. Hence, whenever your system powered on, device will start working.

Yes, it does need to be connected I'm not sure if it has a memory (system) cause I've never tried it.

Yes, you'll need a computer to set it up. You may manually do it using the browser-based utility or run the setup CD.

yes if the computer has a USB plug-in. I doubt there is any computer that is still working today without one. I cannot say that this matters, but preferably the plug-in is in the front of the computer. May work just fine in back. It comes with a very small transmitter that has to be plugged in one of your available USB slots.

Probably not. I haven't tried because I've had it hooked to the computer when I turned it on.

No. This is a desk top computer. It's all connected with wires and a plug to the wall.

Yes, my computer doesn't work when the light is on. The light is so good I work around it. I can't see the computer in the dark anyway.

No, it needs to plug into a provided USB cable to connect to a computer (which is easy).
