Do I have to keep my PC on to monitor the camera from my smartphone? Do the account and camera work in any country like Peru?

The cameras are connected to the Internet and not your PC, so your PC does not have to be powered on for the cameras to work. My guess is that the camera power supplies will work if you have adapters suitable for Peru. The MYDlink account should work anywhere in the world.

No, you don't need to keep your pc on just your router. Should work anywhere---if you can get in due to heavy access.

no it sends message to email on motion detection but i found it easier to run from the computer as it functioned better, was using ispy as it is a freeware and helped fix the issue with the delay in recording.

The camera can be wireless or directly hooked up to your router. You do not need to keep your computer on to see it on your smart phone app. The camera will work fine in Peru. What account are you referring to? You may want to give D-Link a call.

If you want to view the cameras remotely on a smart phone or on a pc it has to be connected to the Internet

I actually use 'tinyCam Monitor' on my phone to monitor my loftek and foscam cameras. My setup is that I monitor from my phone, but all motion and things get written to my ftp site where I can review and display them on a website. At one point I used yawcam on my computer to access my ubs connected cameras. You should be able to use this software to connect to an IP camera, but I've not done it.

I live in Brazil and the app doesn't exist here too, so I did a account in the app store USA to download the app.. than I start to use... But i believe if you don't need to use the wifi of the camera you can use like a regular video monitor baby sitter with a power adapter

You must connect to Y-cam on your computer, but at no charge. Then you download their app to your iphone. I will know more after my trip, then the motion sensor is activated, how well this works in Europe. This is separate from my other home security. I hope this was helpful to you. Well, I guess the answer is no.

You should be able to access the camera from your 3G, 4G smartphone As long as your smartphone has signal. One more thing you need to do is to set port forwarding in the router. The camera get power from the power adapter that need to connect to the AC outlet.

You can. That's basically how I set mine up. Call foscam support if you get stuck anywhere. Some find the portforwarding settings a bit confusing. Just fyi. Support is very helpful, they can remote access your pc if need be.

You can remote live view from any browser, including smartphones, on the local network or over the Internet. You can record from a PC by opening up the web browser to the IP address of the camera, or installing recording software on your PC and pointing it to the camera over the network. You do not have to connect directly to a PC.

so far I have only used the zmodo phone app, which works well. there are 2 apps, one for when you are on your home network. one for when you are not. my understanding is there is a way to "port forward" so you can view your cameras on any computer but my attempts to do that so far have failed. They weren't much of an attempt though. Ill probably try again later. There are some youtube videos of how to do it.

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.

This camera does not come with a monitor. You will need to use your computer or smartphone/tablet to view the video.

You can watch what the camera is monitoring via Skype from any computer, essentially it is a seperate feature. The monitor has to be in range of the camera and does not work off of SKype.

Yes you can have the camera record to the SD card and it should not care if it is on the network or not. You can remove the SD card and view the recordings on your pc. There is not a requirement to have it connected to the network for the camera to function.

We have some more similar cameras and they are running with the WiFi there. I also smart phone, tablets, etc., with the Wifi. I analized it from the router side, but I could not see any responses from the camera WiFi with either DHCP or fix address setting. It works fine with a LAN cable. The camera itself is fine and I am using it with a LAN wire setting now.

No. This camera has a power supply ac adapter. It sends it's video capture via wireless to a handheld or table mounted remote display. It does not interface with a pc.
