I need the camera to be wireless to my house from my barn so needs a receiver and a transmitter. Is that included?

These cameras do not come with a receiver or transmitter. Being that this is not a hardwire camera setup, each camera acts as a transmitter. All you need is an active internet connection to access the video feed. They simply just need to be within WiFi range. With this in mind, you are able to access the feed via smartphone, to include setting up tamper alarms, in the event an intruder attempts to jam that wireless signal. The limitations to these cameras are mostly dictated by your creativity to set up a custom alarm and trigger platform. Regardless, they perform very well - even at a basic level and as described.

You need to connect it to your router with a cable initially, then use a PC, or a device with a browser to configure it for wireless. Once that is done and tested, no pc is needed, the camera is self contained, just needs power.

Camera has to be plugged in a 120 volt outlet (wire plug is included with camera). The receiver has a cable and a 120 volt outlet cord that comes with it. The cable connects to the receiver and to the back of the DVR recorder and the 120 volt connects to the receiver and to the wall plug. That is for ever wireless camera that you install.

You do not need a receiver or DVR, but it is highly recommended. Blue Iris is the best, since it handles all Foscam models. You need a PC (or server) which will aggregate all of the footage for you and allow you to take control of the camera from the Blue Iris console itself. Once you manage the camera from Blue Iris, you don't need to manage it locally any longer (Blue Iris handles everything). Blue Iris is about $60. It is a one-time license. Your 2nd question regarding wireless - Like all wifi, it is only as strong as you configure it. Evildoers would have to first be on your wireless network in order to take control of the camera. Be sure to do the following on your ROUTER, in order to keep you and your family safe: 1.) Use WPA2 encryption, with a strong passphrase that is NOT in any English/Spanish/German dictionaries. Use symbols. 2.) Turn OFF WPS (Wifi Protected Setup) 3.) Turn on MAC Filtering. This is easily bypassed by hackers, but does another hurdle to the security mix. 4.) Don't use a Wifi SSID that represents your house. For example, I see many times where people put their house # in their SSID. BAD MOVE, GOOD FOR HACKERS! Use something that doesn't tie your wifi to yourself. 5.) On your Foscam CAMERA(s): Change the default username and password. That way, if someone does attach to your wifi network, they can't easily Google "Foscam default username/password" and log into your camera with ease. 6.) On your Foscam CAMERA(s): Update the camera's firmware periodically. There are exploits that come out which exploit the vulnerability on some of the ports/services that run on the camera (as with any device on the planet). Be sure to keep up-to-date on the firmware. Apologies for being thorough. Hope this helps!

What you need is 1 transmitter and two receivers. You can buy 1 set which is a transmitter and a receiver. And then purchase an additional receiver

This unit is not wireless. It comes with a bit over 19 feet of RCA shielded video feed cable and 5 feet of 12 volt DC wire.There is a wireless module available for it (available on Amazon), however.TaoTronics TT-WM01 2.4GHz Wireless Color Video Transmitter & Receiver for Vehicle Rear View camera / Front View Backup Camera System

You would have to purchase a wireless receiver to hook up to the DVR and a wireless camera.

I do not know for sure, but I would not recommend this product for wireless needs. The camera and monitor are outstanding but the wireless transmitter and receiver quit working nearly a week after installation. Amazon has not responded to my complaints as of yet.

Yes. The transmitter wirelessly communicates with the receiver. The receiver is connected to the camera via a wire.

We do carry locators, but they are drop-shipped from an authorized RIDGID distributor so we do not list them on Amazon.If you have any questions or concerns, please email us or call us at the number below.Thanks! Have a great day.Sincerely,Tom CupilaryAffordable Tool, LLCCustomer ServicePhone: 734-224-7758Fax: 734-224-7208

No, it needs to be connected to a DVR receiver and a power source. Even wireless cameras need a power source . . . . So there is never a true wireless camera. It is best to take the time and wire all your cameras for you security needs. And make sure that they have the right power adaptor if you buy them separate from a kit.All the best.

No. They have a power connection and a video connection. A Wireless camera would have an antenna to your receiver device.

It is NOT a wireless camera. Sorry. Write HD Video Depot if you already bought it and they will hook you up with what you need. When I wrote em they were GREAT, both in time to respond and getting me what I needed.

The camera has to be within range of your wireless router. Take a laptop out to the barn to see if you get a signal. If you don't get the wireless signal in the barn you will probably have to get a range expander. However, once you get one, you can then monitor the signal from anywhere in the world from a computer, tablet, smart phone.

Everything needed is included in the package. It is wireless from the rear to a sensor in the front that is wired to the unit on the dash.

No. Each camera also needs to be powered by an electrical outlet. "Wireless" means that no wires are needed between the cameras and the receiver.
